Re: [TenTec] Tuning Rigs

That's a great way to do it and I can confirm that it works as I have the 
same basic set-up.  And I don't have to worry about transmitting into the 
analyzer.
A couple of coax switches, a MFJ 259 series and a Heath cantenna do the job 
for anything from 160M through 6M and all the way to legal limit power.  It 
saves stress on PA transistors, likely flash-over in amps and tuners.  And 
it is the "legal" way to do it.
