What antenna tuner (possibly with amp) for under...say a hundred bucks
do you folks like.
This would be for general coverage and DXing.

Thanks.


If you're tuning an unbalanced, random-length wire, the MFJ 16010
L-circuit tuner is fine, and is only 49.95

For a balanced antenna, a dipole, say, the MFJ 901B Versa Tuner would
work -- it's 79.99

The MFJ 956 preselector/tuner is another possibility

Anybody can build an LC tuner for under $20 in about 15 minutes. You
need a tapped air core coil, a variable cap, a few clip leads and a
slab of peg-board. Excellent first project.
