Thanks for the explanation. What you have described would be more
convenient from an operating standpoint since I would have one less
thing to tune during a QSY.


You might have misunderstood Cecil. I think he is describing a system where
the "optimal length" may be different on each band, so whilst you don't
tune an ATU, you tune the feeder length.


Throwing a couple of knife switches is certainly an easier
and faster QSY than rotating a coil switch and twisting
two interacting capacitor knobs.
