I don't exactly know what set this guy off, but I know what my antennas
are doing because I use a vector network analyzer on them. I was simply
comparing the K2's tuner with a couple of other tuners I've used. My
points were (a) the KAT2 tuner is very good/outstanding for a switcher
that uses discretized components, (b) an external tuner subtracts from
the portability of the K2 or K3, and (c) the discretized components in
the F3K are chosen for the low-frequency bands and don't work at all for
10 or 6 if one is trying to match a hi-Q antenna structure, which may be
not too far from 50+0i at its resonant frequency.
