That is my understanding, as well.

I believe the better setting on the Pi network, i.e., Palstar, tuner is to pick the one with the highest Output capacitor setting, and lowest Input capacitor setting. But you do have to work a bit longer to determine whether more than one setting works, and which one that is.

But if the end result is the essentially same, then I am not sure I want to pay much more for the TT - I might better spend my hard earned brass on the auto tuner - or a remote tuner for the base of my big stick vertical antenna.

Thanks for your view.

The difference is a Pi (In the Palstar) vs an L (in the TenTec) configuration. The problem with the Pi is that it "may" give you more than one group of settings that provide a low SWR.
