Hi, all.

I don't know if this will come through the list, but does anyone know about
this new auto-tuner?  I'm curious on how it works in comparison to, say, one
of the common LDG out-board auto-tuners, such as the AT11MP or the Z100.

I am curious also as to why it is marketed to work especially well with
"screw-driver-type" mobile antennas.

This may be useful to my camper trailer HF set-up, but I don't want to spend
the bucks on it until I know more.

I also was under the impression that you couldn't use an auto-tuner with a
screw-driver-type antenna since the ant is, esentially, a tuner in and of
itself.

Thanks, and best 73 from tom Behler: KB8TYJ
