    Colin and all:

I'd sure like one of these myself?

Might fit my RV situation too, since I have still not heard anything from 
N2VZ Enterprises about the broken Turbo-tuner I sent to him almost a year 
ago.  You may recall that I used that Turbo-tuner to tune the screw-driver 
antenna that currently is on the back of the RV, and without it, though it 
can be done manually, tuning especially on the lower bands, is quite tricky.
