[Elecraft] autotuner for new amp

[Lance Collister]

Hello Johnny,

The need for an extra 3 dB on 6m is why I opted for an M2 6M-1000 compact solid 
state amp to take on DXpeditions.  I was very sorry that Elecraft did not come out 
with a kw amp, because it would have been very nice to have a matching amp that 
worked on HF, too.  But you are absolutely correct - 6m can be very challenging 
and - especially on EME - the increased power of a few dB makes all the difference 
in the world!  In fact, many times even just one dB stands between success and 
failure.

GL and VY 73, Lance
