With all due respect, I agree with what Howard is saying here.
I have found the auto-tuner in the TS480 to be very forgiving.
I do use a manual tuner as well, but only when using my Ameritron Al811H
amplifier, since the auto-tuner in the TS480 would probably be vaporized
with the higher power level.

What does a signal to noise ratio have to do with a tuner?
The tuner in the 480 will tune anything under 8-1. They have no idea what
they are talking about!
