A tuner sold by Ameritron (ATR-20) using the same inductor is
rated at 750 watts CW, but there are electrical differences. The
Ameritron tuner includes a peak reading meter that really reads
peaks, and has higher capacitance variables.

The four position indoor MFJ antenna switches had a dimension
error in the casting for the housing that prevented the contacts from
seating properly. Some worked, and some didn't.
