And they won't make you buy all those optional filters either but if you
want any perfromance, you'll have to buy them. Auto tuners have become
standard on newer equipment because hams like them. It seems strange to me
why we would want a rig with so many features an leave out one of the most
popular items of the day.
So I suppose with this rig you will need to crank the roller inductor and
capacitors, flip switchs, reduce power, tune for dips just like the old tube
days.
