[Yaesu] Progress and internal tuners

[Jay]

You can have a small radio and limited tuning, a small radio and an external
tuner, or a big radio with wider tuning.  Or of course a big radio and a
bigger external tuner.

Then again, there's always remote antenna switches and resonant antennas,
right....

Hi John,

With the shrinkage in the size of HF radios, the amount of "real estate"
available for the autotuner has become smaller. The T-network components
have shrunk accordingly, so current autotuners have much less tuning range
beyond their advertised spec of 16 to 150 ohms (VSWR = 3:1 max) than their
predecessors.

Manufacturers are required only to hold to their advertised specs, no more
and no less.

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ
