[Elecraft] Tuner efficiency question

[Parker Buckley]

Hi guys.  I certainly appreciate your quick responses.  Like everything
else, I guess the answer to a certain extent is "It depends".  I probably
should have sidestepped the balanced tuner vs tuner/balun part of the
question.  I've tried all kinds of combinations along those lines, probably
guided more by practicality for the particular installation than efficiency.
So maybe I should have started with "Assuming a coax-fed antenna......"  It
sounds like the decision still comes back to (given a reasonably efficient
design), what's most practical for the need.  The KAT2 integrates directly
into the K2 and the T1 offers flexibility for use with other rigs.  Looking
forward to Dayton!
