With the recent articles (QST, Mar. 1997 & Feb. 2003) on manual antenna 
tuners and their efficiency, I was wondering about the efficiency of the new 
automatic tuners, specifically the external units that can be added to rigs 
that do not have internal tuners.

Does anyone know if the ARRL is planning a review/comparison report?  

A review of recent QST ads have noted the following external automatic 
tuners:  
Alpha Delta PathFINDER
LDG Electronics AT-11MP & RT-11
SGC - SG-230/231/235/237 Smartuner series

A review of a recent HRO catalog noted these additional units:
ICOM AH-4 and AT0-180
Kenwood AT-50
Alinco EDX-2
