I think this design is summed up nicely by the term "overkill".

I followed the link, Ian. I think it's amazing that an *antenna tuner*:

1. has to be plugged in to AC power to work
2. has cooling fans
3. runs the Linux operating system

I am just old enough to find that somewhere between humourous and preposterous.
