I had a long journey with my Elecraft tuners. I started with a 
K3/10. I then added a T1 tuner so I could use the tuner with 
other QRP radios. This setup worked quite well, if not a 
conveniently as an internal tuner in a K3.

Then my wife, after watching me work QRP in CQP with marginal 
antennas said, "Oh go out and get the 100W amp." The order went 
out very quickly, before she could change her mind. I had some 
matched antennas and they worked well at 100W and I reduced 
power for the bands which needed the T1.

After hitting the T1 with 100W a couple of times -- it survived 
and still works well -- I got the internal tuner in the K3. I'm 
a happy camper.
