[Elecraft] Portable Antennas (Is there an "easy" button?)

[John]

Indeed AA5TB EHFA's web page was an eye opener for me.

I've since studied the PAR (LNR) multi-band (40, 20 and 10) EFHW product 
with particular focus on the transformer box.

Of particular note are the resistance tests showing the wideband nature 
of the standalone matchbox to function from 60m to 10m with no tuning.  
This is not to imply, however, the matchbox/wire combo is multi-band.

This clever little matchbox seems like an "easy button."

With that in mind, can anyone report what happens when the K2 (or any 
Elecraft) antenna tuner attempts to drive something like the LNR 
40/20/10 matchbox/wire combo on some other frequency?

Thanks.
