I have an internal K1 tuner and a T1 tuner.  The T1 has a much larger
impedance range and will match stranger loads than the KAT1.

The big advantage of the KAT1 is that it is an internal pcb that is always
there and it also will "remember" settings for each band on the same antenna
so you can switch between 40/30/20 and 15 without having to retune again.

Generally, I use the T1 more often now than the built-in KAT-1.  If I was
repeating the rig again, I'd opt for a T1 rather than the builti-in KAT-1.
