My MFJ Tuner did not like 160, so I bought (under advisement) an
Ameritron. The MFJ just smoked and sparked when attempting to tune. So I
decided that the antenna was at fault. The Ameritron tunes 160 but ?? I
am not sure on things. The Amertron does not tune the American phone band
on 40m. So it must go back to antenna design. For which I am now reading,
reading.
