Default What is the BEST ladder line tuner?


Looking for opinions on the BEST manual ladder line tuner with 50-ohm coax
connection to rig (built-in balun).

Main criteria I'm looking for are low loss, and wide impedance matching
range (my Nye Viking M-II won't quite tune my inverted V on the high end
of 40 meters presumably because combination of ladder line length and
antenna length presents a too-high impedance at that frequency).

Power capability is secondary ... I run 200 watts with no desire to go any
higher ... but I think they're all mostly capable of legal limit these
days anyway.

Thanks...
