A db here;
A db there;
Pretty soon you can tell the difference.
Especially when signals are in the noise and it makes the difference in
communication occurring or not.
Let us know what you find; my only experience with Sunair is in aircraft and
not that much power.
Certainly there must be commercial/military devices.
My preference is a resonant, matched antenna and no tuner.

Interesting. Just the other day, we were told that 10 dB wasn't enough
signal strength difference to worry about, and even ol' "Kurt Sturba"
has said that a mere 18 dB isn't that big a deal. Now here we have
someone who feels that an extra 1.5 to 2 dB is worth considerable
trouble and expense. Just goes to show ya.

Hello...

I am looking to install either a dipole, or just a long wire, and need
suffestions on a tuner. I am running an amp, 700-800 watts out max.
The SGC 235 has a max input of 500 watts (no, I am not lowering the
power, sorry). So, Who makes an automatic tuner that handles 1000
watts, and can be mounted outdoors, at the antenna feed-point?

Sunair came to mind, any info on these, where to obtain, how to
control it, etc? Any others? Harris?

Thanks
