[Elecraft] Elecraft Digest, Vol 104, Issue 45

[William Levy]

I have had every microprocessor driven tuner since the first Icom and SGC.
The greatest freedom comes from simply pushing the tune button. If you push
it and the tuner tunes that frequency with your antenna then that's all you
need to know. If you are in a hurry the band info is good enough.
Gentlemen, remember. We used to do this by hand. Some of us still do from
time to time. Those big amps are not really happy with small tuners. So
count your blessings. We are approaching now the same antenna tuning
technology that our Armed Forces have. What do I lust for? DC to 5 gig
bandwidth all modes 500 watts simultaneously. You can be on 80 and I can be
on 20 and someone else can do video on 2.4g and it will only take 1 box.

Happy New Year! Bill N2WL
