[Amps] Recommended Tuner for Clipperton L

[qrv at kd4e.com]

Roger,

	That's why I'm looking only at non-roller/rotary inductor
tuners - to remove the mechanical movement variable and the concern
about an under-rated device in an affordable tuner.

	Don't both the Dentron MT-2000 and MT-3000 tuners use only
tapped coils?
