I'll weigh in on this one, too, since I'm considering this option quite seriously. With my home-only station running QRP CW I use a nice 100+ Watt external tuner (even for QRP). It has the obligatory cable connected between it and the radio plus a grounding cable plus a power cable and either sits beside or on top. It is convenient in that it will initiate tuning when I press the "Tune" button on the radio, but it just looks messy to have an external unit attached to the radio, to the power supply and to the ground buss. I hate it! I want an internal tuner for no other reason than to keep my station neat and simple. Removing the clutter and other points of possible failures from the coax jumper, power cable and grounding cable is a huge bonus in my opinion! ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net
