Hi Mini Builder Kurt
I run a K3 at 100 watts to a H-Gain Hy-Tower with a MFJ-927 tuner at the base.
It is specified to match from 6 to 1600 ohms and handle 200 watts SSB and CW.
It gets the 12 volts feed on the same coax as the RF signal. I have had my
MFJ-927 for several years and in North

Hello Mini Builder
Welcome back. The K3 internal tuner is the best choice. I have used tuners of
every stripe and Elecraft internal tuners have a very wide tuning range and
will match everything that my other tuners won't. Why do you need a remote
tuner? If you only have one antenna - you
Thanks, guys.
My reasoning for thinking that I need a remote tuner is that
1. It’s recommended in about every reference I've seen, and B. What’s the
alternative? I assume it means going straight to coax (probably through a
balun) at the feed point, and putting up with whatever mismatch there is,
it will be a good dx antenna.

That's probably because the writers aren't good engineers. See below.

Kurt,
I have 5 separate wire antennas: a 160M Inv-L, a 80M inv-L, a 40M
vert, a 30M vert a 20M vert. I've got 45 or so long radials
attached to a radial plate. An Ameritron RCS-8V Remote Coax Switch
allows me to select which of the 5 antennas to use. I have no
external tuner to the K3. I use

Thanks for all the input!
Sorry, I misspoke about grounding - yes, I know that it's not really ground,
but a grid against which the signal is balanced. It's very promising to hear
that the K3's internal tuner will work, as it's less money and one less thing
to deal with. Haven't decided where
