- But you can do a reasonably good job of avoiding the problems associated with physics if the underlying physics is understood. All tuners have loss. Some designs have less loss than others. A well-b

- I need to correct myself. I was reading data from the MFJ-974 tuner. Perhaps MFJ should include a cooling fan! However, even higher losses occur on 10m with the Palstar AT4K. Paul, W9AC _____________

- 165W of loss in a well constructed tuner shouldnt even be a discussion point. Tank circuit loss in a 1500W amp is much more and we accept it as normal. Carl KM1H _____________________________________
