While it's not a Ten-Tec brand, I use an LDG automatic tuner with my Jupiter.
It helps match up any slight mismatches on my Butternut vertical, especially on
the wider bands. I think LDG once made the auto tuners that go in the newer
Ten-Tec rigs. Several other companies, such as MFJ, make similar products. The
LDG is in the low $100s range. I believe Ten-Tec's only auto tuner is for
larger power and much more expensive.
