No, it has an automatically tuned pi-l network in the output which can 
handle load SWR up to 1.5:1 without any special tricks, or which can be 
manually programmed for antennas with SWR up to 2:1.  But it's basically 
the same type of output network found in most tube amplifiers, which has 
a certain amount of flexibility.  I expect that Elecraft's tuner will 
handle a wider range of impedances (although I can't say for sure).
