Steve,

If you have deep pockets Palstar has a new auto tuner.

http://www.palstar.com/at-auto.php



One guy who reviewed it on e-ham uses it in manual mode for 6 meters.   I
use the  Palstar AT 1500 cv manual tuner  and find the tuning  tones in the
LDGTW-1  talking meter make  it fairly easy to  tune.
But if I was going to do it again I'd  get the one with only  1 capacitor
instead of the 2 caps  on this one.
