[Elecraft] Auto tuners compared?

Mon Apr 1 12:39:01 2002

Paul, I only have experience using the LDG autotuner on my ICOM 751A and Ten 
Tec Corsair II....it works, but nothing magical about it. The closer your 
antenna is to 50 ohms the easier and quicker the tuner will find a working 
match. The crazier the SWR gets, the more the LDG labors to find the 
match...up to a point where you have to intervene and use the manual mode to 
"walk in" the match!

Good luck.......73/ ed
