If you'll except an opinion,  I'd say get a tuner rated for higher then just
100 watts, some times if you have one rated for 100 watts and run that much
through it a lot it won't last as long,  I've had some friends that had that
problem after a couple years of regular use. Just a thought, I think the
mechanical tuners like the 940, 440, 450 and all were a lot better then
these relay jobs like the 570 have but no one asked for my input on that. I
find though that the 570 is very touchy at times. I may get something
external when I get my TS-2000 and have room for another box where my duel
bander is now, right now though, I have no room at all on my radio desk for
anything more, I want 1 of the SWR/Power meters with speech output, wavenode
or what ever I can get my hands on but just don't have the room.
