[TenTec] "Radiates like Crazy"???? No

[NJ0IP]

Denton,

Unfortunately Mr. Annecke died about 5 years ago and his son chose to close
the business.  As a result, everything he ever built is now appreciated
about 100%, which means a used box now costs twice what it cost new.

Be careful when searching for an Annecke.  Altogether he built about 15
different types of matchboxes and only 5 or 6 of them were truly symmetrical
matchboxes.

Currently, the only thing I know of on the market (new) which runs link
coupling are the boxes from U.K. Amp and DL1SWR.

See:  http://www.linamp.co.uk/ (under Supertuner)

And:  http://mitglied.lycos.de/dl1swr/  (Beschreibung und Fotos)

The rest of the boxes are either dual-Pi or dual-L.

I've tested the dual-Pi and dual-L and they both work well, but don't offer
the harmonic suppression and preselection of the link-coupled boxes.
Otherwise they work perfectly well.  Ok, the dual Pi offers some, but not as
much.

Is any European manufactures now building true link coupled balanced line 
transmatches?
Would dearly love to secure an Annecke on this side of the pond...
