Hmmm... why do you need an antenna tuner? Can't you build an antenna that's close to 50 ohms? Or, are you like me and just hang any random length of wire in the trees and hope for the best? For close to 40 years I bought into the myth of 50 ohm antennas. Absolute crap results. (Well, I've always had very good luck with a dipole for one band.) Earlier this year I put up a 102' doublet fed with open wire line and have been working the entire planet with less than 100 watts. But you're right, I'm a lazy ******* and would like the frequency agility rather than having to tweak the knobs on the MFJ tuner every time I change frequency.
