The AH-4 is a good tuner if used properly. I have a 130' foot piece of wire
in my back yard and a couple of radials to boot. This setup with my 756PRO
will work all bands thru 6m, no problems. I've worked tons of DX off this
setup. Read my recent article on Eham entitled "Varmint Proof Your Antenna"
at    http://www.eham.net/articles/8561 This is how I've set up my AH4. Best
230 bucks I've spent. You can probably get it cheaper at R and L. Special?
Well they usually go for that anyway.

The only drawback is that using non-resonant antennas with an antenna of
this sort will limit you to 150 watts. You can't run an amplifier.
