[1000mp] MPV Driving Amp

[Rob Atkinson]

I use the built in tuner in my ts870 all the time with my amp.  It is 
needed to get the 870 to full output which is necessary for my ten tec 
centurion because the 870 has a 100 w. pa and the centurion needs all 
of that drive power.   the only reason why I don't use the mk v tuner 
is that it seems to not handle slight mismatches as well and with the 
higher power pa is not needed for the amp the way it is with the 870.
