I have been using the little T1 now for over a week. A very nice
addition to any QRP rig!
I have used this little tuner with 132 foot Windom, Gap vertical,
Hy-Gain 2 element beam tuning in bands cut for phone band in cw
portion, & with portable vertical. 80 through 6 meters all received
1:1 matches! SWR on antennas was anything from 10:1 down to 2:1 &
little T1 did an excellent job with about 2 second tuning time.
Rigs used was a DSWII-20, Argonaut V, & FT-817. If you have a 817 the
control cable is real nice. Once tuned on that band & you go band
hopping, T1 will automatically retune back to the band/bands you left.
You probably could add this little tuner inside the Argonaut V, but I
have too many QRP rigs & will use it with all of them.
Building time was around 6 hours.
Another great product from Elecraft!
