[TenTec] OT: Question to the group

[Jim Allen]

I had one of those, not at 60', about half that.  CC&Rs and all that.

What is a "well designed truly balanced antenna tuner?"  From what I've read, there aren't many.  I have an MFJ 974HB.  There is the Palstar whatever the latest model nomenclature is.  Rick has the whole run down on his extensive website.

What is good at lower heights?
