Well I don't have a Jupiter with the internal ATU but I will share this
tidbit. Having the tuner at (or really close to) the feed point of the
antenna is going to give you the most efficiency regardless of what tuner
you use. Moving the tuner into the shack will present a higher loss in the
coax. Not sure why you feel the need to get another tuner if the current
setup works fine. I don't think the LDG is a remote tuner either.
Upgrade to the Jupiter and plug it in and start having fun :)

Subject: [TenTec] Jupiter and 33 foot vertical.
I have decided to up grade my ham shack with a Jupiter. My present set up
is an Argonaut V with a 33 foot vertical and 36 radials. I have a SGC 237
tuner at the base of the vertical for multi band use. If I order the
Jupiter with the internal tuner and install a balen at the base of the
antenna how well can I expect it to work. My personal feeling is an
external tuner like the LDG 1000 pro would be better. Comments please off
line from anyone using the Jupiter and 33 ft vertical antenna would be
appreciated.
