Hmm, it might be a bit tricky to find an automatic 3KW tuner that works in
this application for $300! If you find one, let us all know who makes it
and how to get one.

For what it is worth... I am usually concerned about the cost of things. If
I have to pay $300.00 for a tuner I am going to get one good for 3KW.

Seems to me that if your are going to add an external tuner then you
will have to have a way to tune it remotely. With the built in tuner
the access will be through the One Plug GUI or if your antennas are well
matched you won't need a tuner anyway. Yes the remote operation does
work I have been running my rig from my laptop, although only from
within my own house, I think they would frown on me working DX from
work. Hi Hi!
