[Elecraft] [K2] auto tuner capabilities

[Wayne Burdick]

Yes. Our ATU algorithm was in fact pioneered on the KAT2. It has eight inductors and eight capacitors, and was designed specifically to match a wide range of random wire antennas. The hardware and firmware were refined over multiple field events.

Question: is the K2 auto tuner sufficient and effective in these types of situations? I'm thinking of building and installing one, and I'd like to know if the tuner will take care of "most" arrangements, or will I still need something outboard. Thanks for any and all comments.
