First off, new competition grade transceivers are all out
of my financial range. But...
I can understand that not everybody needs a tuner.
However, some of us use them because antenna space,
finances, whatever, dictate setting up your antennas for
either phone or cw, not both. An auto-tuner is a nice
accessory for the guy running barefoot in S & P mode
in the non-resonant part of the band. A quick push of
the button is easier and faster then putting a carrier on
the band and fiddling with the knobs of a manual tuner.
Like Dennis Miller, just my opinion, I could be wrong..
