[TenTec] Auto Tuners

[Richards]

I use a Palstar AT-AUTO with good results.  It will power your amplifier 
down, if you have one, if you accidentally tune while operating QRO.  I 
purchased it because it was a full-sized variable air capacitor and huge 
roller inductor,  operated by DC servo motors, so it is the best of both 
worlds -- it tunes and operates more like the TT 238 tuner, than the LDG 
or MFJ which are based on relays using much smaller, discrete capacitors 
and inductors in various combinations.

Just my take…

Happy Trails.
