Call me old fashioned, but I'd rather twist the knobs than have an auto
"Match Box" at the home QTH. It's nice for portable if you're running
the antenna straight from the rig, like the K1, but I'd rather have a
manual "Match Box" for home use. The old Johnson KW Matchbox is great,
and I can get the SWR to 1:1 easily on 80,40,20,15, and 10. And I mean
NO reflected power from the balanced line...
