A friend bought a G5RV Lite and has a Kenwood TS-480SAT, hoping the ATU in
the Kenwood would be able to tune all bands.
But only two bands would tune - 6m and 10m.

He then borrowed a G5RV Jr. Same results.

So question is does G5RV's in general require an external tuner with a
wider matching range than the typical internal ATU's in late model rigs??

The Shadow usually knows. (;-)

The shadow would probably suggest you to try changing the feedline length a
bit to 'see what happens'.
I love the g5rv - especially on 20 m
