autotuner for new amp
Locked

Okay, so since the Elecraft amp comes without a built-in tuner, what auto tuner might be the best choice to use with the new amp until the Elecraft tuner is developed?

I'll probably be using an SGC 235 that is rated at 500 watts. I recently sold the SG500 Smart Power Cube that it was designed to work with.

The MFJ-994B is $300 at R&L Electronics - might be a good choice if this is an interim tuner while you wait for the KAT500.

The MFJ-994B works OK. The LDG AT-600Pro is much better. I have them
both and use them with the Ameritron ALS-600. The K-3's tuner will tune many antennas/freqs that neither of these will handle. The LDG is a little more expensive. I got mine at CheapHam.com.

Hello Doug,
I think KPA500 gives 500W in 6 m which is beyond the limit of AT-600Pro. 6m could be very challenging and QRO is better. Anyway, I am awaiting further details of KAT500 before proceeding further. cheers, Johnny VR2XMC ________________________________ 寄件人﹕ Doug Person <[hidden email]> 收件人﹕ [hidden email] 傳送日期﹕ 2011/3/16 (三) 8:52:53 AM 主題： Re: [Elecraft] autotuner for new amp The MFJ-994B works OK.

Hello Johnny,
The need for an extra 3 dB on 6m is why I opted for an M2 6M-1000 compact solid state amp to take on DXpeditions. I was very sorry that Elecraft did not come out with a kw amp, because it would have been very nice to have a matching amp that worked on HF, too. But you are absolutely correct - 6m can be very challenging and - especially on EME - the increased power of a few dB makes all the difference in the world! In fact, many times even just one dB stands between success and failure.
