David of course means 18.132.

And for you folks who don't have a 17m antenna, Elecraft makes many fine
autotuners for you to choose from:

For the K1 there is the KAT1: http://www.elecraft.com/K1/kat1.htm

For the K2 there is the KAT2: http://www.elecraft.com/Apps/kat_pics.htm

For the K2/100 there is the KAT100: http://www.elecraft.com/kat100/kat100_page.htm

Of course, you can use any other brand of tuner you wish but, why would
you want to?

Then there is also the option to string up a 17m dipole. 26ft of wire and
some coax is all it takes!
