I don't care if Marconi himself designed it. It will NOT tune a BC-610 to ANY antenna!
Even after setting the BC-610 to the 400W ME-165G 50 ohm dummy load first. It would melt the final before it managed to "match" anything. 250THs don't grow on trees! I have the manual. I have checked it against the schematic in the manual. I'd take one of the Heath tuners, the high power ones, ANY day over the Murch! I don't know how long others have been at this, but that has been my experience since 1980! There is equipment, then there is purported "ultimate" that is nothing but junk.
