[Elecraft] Remote Tuning for Loop?

[Grant Youngman]

Look at the W4OP loop.  The W4OP offers manual and remote tuning options.  I have the W4OP (with manual and remote tuning units) and the AlexLoop The W4OP is the one that gets used the most, although it’s a bit heavier when packed and can’t really be hand held.  Both are nice products.
