Hi=20

I have a K2 with its ATU and the T1, and I must say that the K2=92s =
built in
ATU works great for me, I have a half size windom that needs a ATU on =
any
freq below 40m and the K2=92s ATU can match it on top band without =
problem.
The T1 gets a decent match on Topband and a good match on 80, I also =
have
the K1 with its ATU and that works great even with a short wire on 40 =
and up
but with a 80m card fitted it can only get me a 2:1 match on 80m, if I =
turn
it off and use the T1 I get a near 1:1 match.

For my money the built in ATU for the K2 is the best internal ATU I have
found, I also have a FT1000 MK5 and that just about gets a match on 80 =
and
doesn=92t like topband at all. But on the positive side it does make a =
great
door stop!

All the best
