Yes, the charts showing performance vs band are especially interesting.

Unfortunately, not ALL tuners are covered.  I already own a Nye Viking
MB-V-A tuner, but am looking for another to devote to my ladder line
fed dipole for 80m (to facilitate automatic antenna switching by band).
The antenna is 160' long in inverted vee configuration center fed with 
ladder line.

Meters, switches are not absolute requirement for this application, so
perhaps the Heath SA2040 which shows up used at hamfests would work?

Meters, switches would not hurt, so what about the Heath SA2060?

Anyone have performance data?

73, Brian
