Yes, I did get it.  :-)

That's why I agreed.  However, some solid state rigs don't have 
auto-tuners or they are an expensive option.  Then you are left with 
having to use an external tuner.

Also, I just prefer to use one because of the additional harmonic 
attenuation.  Sure, you can add a band pass filter, but remember that 
filter was designed to work correctly within a 50 Ohm system.  So even to 
get your bandpass filter to work correctly, you will likely need to use a 
tuner.  Now, if the PA is so clean that it doesn't need a filter, that's 
a different story.

73,
