I don't exactly know what set this guy off, but I know what my antennas are doing because I use a vector network analyzer on them. I was simply comparing the K2's tuner with a couple of other tuners I've used. My points were (a) the KAT2 tuner is very good/outstanding for a switcher that uses discretized components, (b) an external tuner subtracts from the portability of the K2 or K3, and (c) the discretized components in the F3K are chosen for the low-frequency bands and don't work at all for 10 or 6 if one is trying to match a hi-Q antenna structure, which may be not too far from 50+0i at its resonant frequency.
