Hi Brian,
I use the LDG RBA-1 I got it at the same time I got the Old "Z-11" tuner. About 2000, I got the FT-817, tuner, balun and all.

It works great at .5watt tuning. The Z-11 with a 4 to 1 Balun has match almost everything I have thrown at it. I often just throw up some wire and operated while back packing in the Montana mountains. What balun did you use? When the ATU was a bit weak in the F3K, I used the Z-11 while keeping the power below 50 Watts. It worked great. The size is small and light weight. I use the a 9 volt battery internal to power the Z-11. No appreciable current draw when not tuning. If I could get powerSDR to operate on my netbook, I would consider replacing the FT-817 with a Flex-1500:-) That is precisely why I am asking this question. I am even looking to see if I can run it on the OLPC.
