[Elecraft] MFJ's new Internal K3 Tuner, anyone tried one yet?

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

This strikes me as quite bizarre.  Do they REALLY think we'd jeopardize our 
radios to save a hundred bucks on duplicate option???

I could "almost" understand it if it was something that was not available 
from the OEM, or, if it did something the OEM unit couldn't do.

Personally, I think it was a very bad move on MFJ's part to even consider it 
and I am surprised they'd expend the effort to put it into production..

That said, I have lots of MFJ products and although I've never had any major 
complaints,  I do understand they have some QC problems.

73, Charlie k3ICH
