[Elecraft] KX2 ATU question

[w7aqk]

Dave and All,

A while back, some enterprising person had posted a rather nice summary of 
all the Elecraft ATU's showing numbers of tuning combinations, etc.  I can't 
find it now, but maybe someone can post it again.  It may have been here on 
this reflector, or otherwise, on the KX3 reflector.

As I recall, the KX2 ATU had slightly fewer combinations, but only because 
160 and 6 meters were not included on the rig.  Thus it was deemed to 
perform nearly identically to the K3 and KX3 ATU's, and seems to do that 
based on my usage.

The T1 also had fewer combinations than the K3, but I think shows very 
similar to the KX2.  My guess is that you would find the KX2 ATU to do a 
competent job in comparison to the T1.  It is a very worthy addition to the 
rig.

How does the optional internal ATU for the KX2 compare to the Elecraft T1
ATU in terms of tuning range? In other words, if a given length of wire
works well with the T1, can one expect it to work with the KX2 internal
tuner?

I have a T1, but not a KX2 (at least not yet).
Is  it  a similar design?
