[Elecraft] Decoder for use with K3 and PW-1

[K4GM-George]

You are probably right.  I installed the K3 ATU four months ago and 
since then have been totally spoiled by not having to manually tune  my 
external tuner from band to band.  Yes, the K3 drives the L4B perfectly 
but I still need to adjust the antenna tuner when using the L4B .  
Depending on how much a decoder costs I might just go for the gold and 
buy an automatic KW+ external tuner.  Tuning the L4B from band to band 
is no big deal.
