[TenTec] Eagle Tuner

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

Yes, most internal tuners are very limited with a matching range SWR of 
typically 3:1 or less.  The design of the Tentec internal tuners provides 
for the SWR matching range to be typically 10:1.  Of course external tuners 
will likely have a much wider matching range.  For use after the amp I use a 
Tentec 238 for the coax fed antennas or for the balanced fed antennas I have 
a dual roller home brew balanced tuner.
