Jeff,
I've had the 238B tuner for a couple of years now and
the only thing I've got negative to say about it is
the cheapy METER!!! It was NEVER ACCURATE to begin
with and now it does'nt ever work. I prefer tuning
using the matcher in conjunction with my "BIRD-43"
wattmeter anyway!!!
Regards,
Jim/nn6ee
