Hi Dave,

Just had a skim of the manual, and it sounds like they have quite a
bit of audible feedback. The aural SWR meter only gives an approximate
reading; i.e. one beep for 1:1-1.5:1, two for 1.6-2, 3 for 2-2.5, 4
for 2.6-3, and 5 for over 3, or something like that. Sends QRO if it's
not getting enough power to tune, QRP if you've got your power set too
high to safely tuen, and QRTi it's overloaded...LOL...also
confirmation beeps for button presses. Seems pretty nice,
actually. MFJ has the tuner for $259 and change for the 300-watt
version. Unfortunately, the higher-power one doesn't include the aural
SWR meter, nor the balanced feed terminals. But $259...not bad...think
the LDG is $239, as is the Elecraft one. Elecraft tuner of course only
works with the K2.
