Hi.

I have a Ten Tec 228 tuner that I use sometimes, although I also have auto 
tuners.  The method that I use on the Ten Tec 228 is to reduce transmitter 
power to 5 watts or less (The TS2000S only goes down to 5 watts), and then 
I use the LDG Electronics TW1.  I set it up for producing a tone that dips 
in pitch as the SWR dips and use that to adjust the tuner, and I can get 
pretty darned close using that method.  After I get it close, I give the 
transmitter full power and make any fine adjustments that are 
necessary.  That will usually get me an SWR that is pretty close to 1:1.
