Nope,  more than that.  Saw it at Dayton, and know who designed it.
Same fellow who did the new MFJ 259B analyzer,  which is a leap
into the distant future compared to the old 259!  The coming
ATR-30 is a true multi-kW tuner:  tape-edge wound inductor,
and properly engineered components for true operation down
to 160 meters.  Price will be around $600,  and production
should begin in just a few weeks. Final production design
is even just now going through final check out.
