Overnight I came up with a concept for a single band Link coupled tuner made entirely of small coax like RG-6 or RG-58 that could be so simple and low cost to construct that the user could build one for each band and antenna adjusting the match once and leaving it. Swapping out via a BNC connector on the rig side and something like twin banana plugs on the twinlead side could a lot faster than dialing in presets on a multiband tuner using less commonly available variable capacitors. I need to prove the concept works by building some before I say more.
