Many thanks to all that took the time to answer the G5RV & Tuner question.
My friend and I learned a lot and he is investigating an external tuner.
Great news group - kudos

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. (;-)
