I used to tune it with the internal tuner in the TS-2000 and it worked 
pretty well. That's where the orientation of the ladder line is a little 
tricky though, at first I had it bunched up like they said to and it 
wouldn't tune on 160 with the internal tuner but once I cut the ladder line 
and got it to length, it worked very well.
