[Elecraft] Re: Tuning the T1

[wayne burdick]

Matt,

The T1 can be tuned with a carrier (CW, digital, AM, or FM modes), or 
with speech (SSB modes). It re-tunes quickly from memory once an 
initial match has been found on each band, so even speech-based 
retuning is practical.

The optional T1 remote-control cable for the FT817 makes things even 
simpler. Once you've tuned up the T1 on all bands, a band change at the 
rig will recall the right tuner L/C components on each band without 
transmitting.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
