[Elecraft] Remote Antenna Tuner

[W B Reese]

Yes BUT!

Will the KAT100 match 20-50 to 1?  If you are feeding your 40-meter dipole 
on 20 meters it may not match, and even if it does, do you want to put that 
kind of stress on the tuner?

I use a Unadilla Trap Dipole and a HyGain DX77 Vertical, they work fine for 
me and the KAT100 is a blessing just as it is.

Very 73,
