My personal favorite is the Drake MN2700 tuner. It will handle legal limit
loads, and will also work 160 mtrs and the WARC bands with no problem. It is a
switched inductance (and capacitance) type, not a roller inductor. I've had
various roller inductor types but find no real advantage, and some
disadvantages to them (slow to change bands and retune, likely problems with
the coil contactor) . The MN2700 just does everything I ask of it, and as far
as I am able to determine, does it just as well as any other unit could.
