I recently picked up a SGC 230 smart tuner and have installed it at the base 
of my inverted L. The 230 has proven to be just as versatile as all the 
comments I read had  indicated it would be. I am really do want to push up my 160m 
tally later in the year but I also want to (need to) retain the one wire 
antenna to work on 30m/17m/12m 

The only band which I have difficulty tuning is 160m, observing the SWR/Fwd 
meter on my Corsair II suggests that the tuner is constantly hunting looking 
for a good match. 

I plan to upgrade my inv L in terms of vertical height and ground/radials 
during the summer months and would welcome any feedback, suggestions, ideas, 
balun arrangements, radial attachments or experiences using the 230,

thanks and 73, cu on warc bands or 160
