Hi Guys:
I thought someone may interested in this tuner.  I'm selling it for $40.00 
dollars.  (It's located at my house in Fairview.)  Perfect condition.  
Original price:$149.00.
Great deal.  But I need to sell it fast because personal funds are very 
low.

Please respond via email:  N!JLG at arrl.net or N1JLG at aol.com

The Z-100 is the definitive low cost automatic antenna tuner! It has been 
designed from the ground up to provide the power handling you asked for, in a 
small, lightweight package that is perfect for portable as well as sitting 
on your desk in your shack! 

The Z-100 will tune with 0.1 to 125 watts (50 watts on 6 meters), making it 
an excellent choice for almost any radio or operating style. Backpackers 
and QRP operators will appreciate the latching relays. Power can be removed 
from the tuner once you have tuned. Additionally, when the tuner is not 
tuning, it draws nearly zero amps.

Additionally, the Z-100 features 200 fast memories which will decrease 
tuning time up to 95%! 

Simple operation is the key to the Z-100. Provide a continuous carrier, 
then press and hold the tune button for 1 second. The Z-100 tunes. The red LED 
indicates tuner activity and the green LED indicates an SWR of 1.0 to 1.5 
(steady Green LED) and 1.5 to 2.0 (blinking Green LED). If your antenna is 
already resonant, place the tuner in bypass. Pressing and releasing the tune 
button quickly will bypass the tuner, taking all tuning components out of 
line. 

Operating range is 1.8 to 54 MHz and will tune a 10:1 SWR (3:1 on 6 meters) 
down to 1.5:1 or less. It will tune almost any coax fed antenna including 
dipoles, beams, and verticals. 

... enough said!
