[Elecraft] on the topic of autotuners

[Geoffrey Mackenzie-Kennedy]

Hi Julius,
Thanks for the fill in. I still have not received the early postings hmmmm.
Strange, I just sent Eric and Wayne a wish for the >KAT100 and that is for a
"Silent" antenna coupler that does not require watts to be radiated during
tune, but only a few milliwatts. It would provide "for free" a dummy load,
not only for testing but also a "default" load for the TX when the antenna
falls down. Like you I would much prefer a meter, I do not like the LEDs at
all as a VSWR indicator to be honest. Fine for "status" indicators.Ability
to bypass coupler, Yes.
CU off list re antennas.
73,
Geoff.
