Dave and all, Are you aware that you can use both tuners "in tandem"? You can set the manual tuner quickly for a close match and then let the internal tuner refine the match.
For instance, you have an antenna that is difficult to match, but you already have a list of setting for a close match (less than 3:1) on the manual tuner for that antenna - just turn to those settings and then let the KX1, K1, K2, K3 tuner clean up for a very ow SWR. 73, Don W3FPR > The bottom line for me is that the KX1 ATU is useful, but not very wide > ranging.
