Excellent Ant Tuner Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
Very well built, 2KW rated, heavy duty antenna tuner, with silver-plated roller inductor, and wide range capacitor set-up that allows tuning from 10-160 meters.
Includes a balun for balanced feedline connections, 4-position antenna switch, 4 coax connectors, 1 random wire antenna connection.
Lighted dial for power and SWR measurements; 12v dc required, and can usually be connected to terminal at back of most modern xcvrs.
Ten-Tec support may be the best in the industry, and so far this unit has not been a problem.
Equal or better than the the Drake MN series for tuning range, bacause Drake selector switches do not include the WARC bands.
Grab one if you can find it on the used market, or buy the new model from Ten-Tec.
