[TenTec] Antenna Tuners...questions

[Arthur Trampler]

OK, I "have" to chime in.

In 2006 QST did a comparison of various auto-tuners, including efficiency 
ratings.  The Palstar Auto Tuner was one of them and I expected its more 
"traditional" design to yield the best results.

To my surprise, especially in terms of efficiency, it did not when compared 
with the the LDG, MFJ or the Ten Tec 253.

George...I am not presuming to trump your knowledge, personal or 
professional.  I run a managed care organization; I'm not an RF engineer.  I 
am wondering if you've read that review though and have any thoughts on its 
findings.
