Rob, got a 2040 also, mine has 28 uh roller inductor
in the middle and it hanldes extreme loads! Dont know
what your trying to tune, but have 2 loops here and its a
breeze to work with! sometimes a single wire antenna
poses a threat to the tuner. got a analyzer here and it
seems to tell the truth more often than not!
Key is a good ground, and is a must!


steve.... gud luck.
