[Elecraft] K2 Tuner?

[Robert Tellefsen]

Jim
I use the dual balun from Elecraft.  I switch
between 1:1 and 4:1 to see which one gives
the lowest swr on the band I'm on.  Then let
the ATU tune it for the final match.  I do the
checking with the ATU in CAL S so I can
see the unmatched swr right from the balun.
Then I switch the ATU in and let'er rip.
Good luck and 73
