CB Channel 19 is 27.185 MHz and if the KTAT1 tuner has sufficient matching 
capability you could probably easily hit 12 or 10 meters.  it might even 
give 15 a shot.

The SGC tuner works quite well on 102" whip and the range is 80 up to 6 
meters but it has an extremely wide matching range.  I am not familiar with 
the characteristics of the KTAT1 but it won't hurt anything to try it.

If you have a KX1 with the KTAT1-antenna tuner ,, does anyone know if and 
how good an antenna from Marine VHF transceiver would be, the kind that sits 
on top of a cabin roof,  -- or a CB truck antenna it would  be the kind in 
those trucks parts catalogs. Both of these types come with strong support 
brackets and use coax but both are grounded to the negative system battery. 
don't know the frequency that either VHF Marine or CB radios use.
