[Boatanchors] WTB - Antenna Tuner. . . . .

[Lee Buller]

Susan....

Here is what you can do....  Make a LC or CL tuner.  All you need is a coil of wire and variable capacitor.  You can mount everything on a board and use alligator clips to hook it up.  Works like a champ.  All you need is a coil and a 365 pf variable at your power level.  You can find the information on the web.  L match.  Simple to build and very effective.

But, you can also buy a MFJ tuner on Ebay for 50 bucks that would work well too.

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is Common Sense divine?

Common Sense is the image of the Creator expressing revealed truth in my mind. -  J. Wolf

Finally getting around to setting up my own, brand new-old station,  and 
one piece of equipment I need as soon as possible, is the most (best - ??)  
Antenna Tuner (Used) I can buy for something less than about $200 (my  
absolute Budget !!).
 
Basic things I'm looking for are the ability to handle at least 200 watts,  
and it must be able to accommodate both coax and balanced line.
I'm not sure that it makes much of any difference to me, if the tuner is  
manual or automatic.
 
Thanks very much for any consideration.
All the best for the Holidays,
