[Antennas] Re: Antenna Tuner Selection

I second Frank on the AT-1000. I have one that I use
with my ALS-600 and it works without a whimper, I'd
say it would work well with the AL-811. It's specs are
at http://www.ldgelectronics.com/at-1000_specifications.html
if you need more info. It'll tune just about anything
and do it in ten seconds with just a press of a button.
(Remember to tune and load your amp into a dummy load
*before* trying to match the output to a tuner. Less QRM
and its better for both amp and tuner, regardless of make
and model.)
