I have two QRP rigs (a K2 and KD1JV's ATS-3) so I opted for an external tuner that works well with either. I have nothing against the T1, but another low cost ($65 kit, $90 assembled) alternative is the Emtech ZM-2: http://emtech.steadynet.com/zm2.shtml It's small, light (8 ounces), passive (non-autotune but very easy to tune and no battery to worry about) and tunes virtually anything on 10-80m (but not 160). The 15W power rating is a nice complement to the QRP K2. CU tomorrow in the Flight of the Bumblebees...I'll be using my K2 and the ZM-2 from the top of Morrow Mountain (NC). 73, Bill W4ZV -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/New-K1-on-the-way---Band-Module-Questions-tp3323422p3325164.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
