Re: Remotable external tuner

Yes, please.

Remotable, balanced/unbalanced, weatherproof, Elecraft.

It doesn't have to be 500W for me - but I will take whatever Elecraft
comes up with.

Re: Remotable external tuner

All of the above ("below" actually) for me as well, but please, not just a 500W model. Way too expensive. Looking at SGC's website as an example, a 500W remote autotuner costs 3 times as much as a 100W model and twice as much as a 200W unit.

Maybe you can make power rating an option...with the brains of the tuner on one board and the brawny, power-rated components on a separate board? Order the combination of boards to match your circumstances. Just a thought.

Hi Ken.

Do you think it is possible for Elecraft to acquire influence with a not yet
mature autotuner manufacturer and provide guidance in a manner beneficial to
Elecraft enthusiasts?

All of the above ("below" actually) for me as well, but please, not just a
500W model. Way too expensive. Looking at SGC's website as an example, a
500W remote autotuner costs 3 times as much as a 100W model and twice as
much as a 200W unit.

Maybe you can make power rating an option...with the brains of the tuner on
one board and the brawny, power-rated components on a separate board? Order
the combination of boards to match your circumstances. Just a thought.

Re: Remotable external tuner

Hi Dick,

I would think so, but it doesn't strike me that they need the help. My understanding is that they tuners they currently sell are very good. It probably wouldn't be too much of a stretch to take a proven performer, modify it according to some of the wish list items floating around and provide a weatherproof cabinet for it.

73 - Ken
