[Elecraft] Tuning Random-Length Wire Antenna with K3 Internal Tuner??

[George Thornton]

You might take a look at the SGC company website.  They make excellent autotuners designed to be mounted outdoors at the antenna.  The site includes a number of guide articles and manuals with a wealth of information.

These tuners are fully automatic in that when you first transmit on a frequency the tuner automatically tunes and puts the setting for that frequency in memory.  

When operating these with the K3 you use the tune button (long press on the xmit key) and watch the SWR go down as the unit tunes.

What is the best way to do this?  I am not familiar with automatic tuners.  

TIA,
