There is another aspect to this discussion that I haven't seen. If you
are are a listener SW or otherwise, you might want 2 tuners, or a manual
tuner. There is no way that I can see to tune an auto-tuner without
transmitting. And being good hams, we would never transmit out of band.

the only time i use an autotuner is when I need the one on my ts870 to get
the vswr into the tuned input of the centurion down to where the 870 won't
fold back. the centurion on some frequencies can show a high enough vswr to
make the 870 unhappy (1.5 to 2:1). the rest of the time i never use one,
preferring manual tuners instead.
