Just in case you are wondering about the
                  "results" of this totally unscientific poll, here is a
                  synopsis.
              
                
              First, thanks to those responding.  In a
                  nutshell, I had 5 respondents who either currently
                  owned, formerly owned or had actual experience using
                  someone else's HF-AUTO.  Of course there were a number
                  of "kibitzers" - hey, that's to be expected --
                  after-all, we are hams and don't seem to hold back
                  when it comes to talking or offering opinions ;-)
                   It's kind of like asking two (2) people about the
                  "best" Italian restaurant, do so and you'll get at
                  least three (3) answers!
              
                
              4 of the 5 respondents were very positive
                  about the HF-AUTO.  It performed well in most cases
                  and met their needs.
              1 of the 5 respondents indicated that the
                  unit did not meet their needs and had experienced
                  catastrophic failure.
              
                
              None of the respondents indicated that
                  they used the unit in a "remote" application and
                  indeed some correspondence with Palstar indicated that
                  remote use of the HF-AUTO was not tested nor was it
                  recommended due to lack of control lines.
              
                
              Most reports on eHam are quite positive.
              
                
              I'm working with a group that is considering
                purchasing the HF-AUTO and was asked see what others had
                to say about it.  Thanks for your opinions -- '73 es gud

                          Hi Kids - I'm seeking opinions related to
                            the Palstar HF-AUTO (
http://www.palstar.com/en/hf-auto/) 
and am
                              particularly interested in performance (or
                              lack thereof) on 160 and 80 meters at full
                              legal limit.  Anyone have this tuner or
                              have used this tuner?  If so, I'd like to
                              have your thoughts on it.  All responses
                              will be confidential.  Please reply "off
                              list."  Thanks - 73 es gud dxing -- Don
