I have had every microprocessor driven tuner since the first Icom and SGC.
The greatest freedom comes from simply pushing the tune button. If you push it and the tuner tunes that frequency with your antenna then that's all you need to know. If you are in a hurry the band info is good enough. Gentlemen, remember. We used to do this by hand. Some of us still do from time to time. Those big amps are not really happy with small tuners. So count your blessings. We are approaching now the same antenna tuning technology that our Armed Forces have. What do I lust for? DC to 5 gig bandwidth all modes 500 watts simultaneously. You can be on 80 and I can be on 20 and someone else can do video on 2.4g and it will only take 1 box. Happy New Year!

I must agree tuners have come a long way. Now there are auto tuners that
will do legal limit 160-6m with ease and at least one that will go 160-10m at 4k. These are for ham use and I'm quite pleased with my K3/P3/KAT500/KPA500 combo a well designed and thought out unit all working almost as one. True integration at its best and I'm pleased every day I fire that station up as to how well it works together. When I power-up the other K3 and amp I know that I will wait for at least 3 min for the Alpha to be ready but the KPA500 is ready the instant its turned on. Happy New Year to all in this group and the people that make our fine products at Elecraft may 2013 be filled with happiness, joy and good health. 73, Fred/N0AZZ -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of William Levy Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2012 8:53 AM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Digest, Vol 104, Issue 45 I have had every microprocessor driven tuner since the first Icom and SGC.

For those of you that reply to Digest type messages, please change the
subject line to something that van identify the topic of the message. And if you can on the long threaded messages, deleted the previous messages. It's is getting so redundant, that it's very confusing as to who said what about what! Makes the whole useless and waste time trying to figure out if it's a new message or repeats!!!

My solution is to delete those without opening. I don't have time to wade
through all the chaff again. And if they aren't interested enough to change the subject they usually don't do much editing.
