T1 Miniature ATU

[a45wg-2]

Fellow Hams,
        I am considering adding a T1  ATU to my portable setup - any comments/suggestions ?  

        Is the kit easy or difficult to construct ?

        As always your constructive comments are very appreciated

I picked one up used, so I can't speak to construction, beyond the
normal good Elecraft build...  However, it does seem to match just
about anything, and it is cute!

Tim,

If you can build in tight quarters with 1/8 watt resistors, you should
have no problem.  Just beware of solder bridges.

It's solid as a rock and quite easy to build. Before I got
internal tuner in my K3, I was using it for the WARC bands.
Occasionally I would hit it with 100 watts RTTY and it survived.

I bought mine assembled. It didn't look like $20 worth of fun to build.
But, like everything I've bought from Elecraft, it is really unique,
exceptional quality, and works very well. I was building a lot of
off-brand (i.e. non-Elecraft) QRP rigs at the time. It was the perfect
companion for those. Tunes almost anything, fast and very quiet.

I no longer use or need it, but it's so damn cute I can't bear to sell
it. I recently had a problem with my K2 ATU. No problem. I used the T1
until I could get the KAT2 on the bench.

I have one that I bought fully built and it's an excellent tuner. I only stopped using it because I have all built-in tuners now and wanted to reduce the extra cabling.

You'll really like it, works great. I'm not sure I'd want to actually build one tho. My K2's already have enough super tiny parts lol.
