[Elecraft] auto tuner

[rckchp at comcast.net]

Ron & group,

I initially used a predecessor to the Z-11, the LDG QRP autotuner (the early version without latching relays) with my (then) basic cw K2....it worked pretty well....later I added the Elecraft internal K2 autotuner .......it works a little better and is much handier (no jumper cables,  no separate power supply, etc.), especially when used for portable ops. If you will be operating mostly at a fixed location I expect the Z-11 will do fine....if you plan much portable ops you will find the internal autotuner worth the money. Maybe sell the Z-11 to fund the KAT2?..... Just my opinion.
