I'm considering the purchase of an Icom-
AH-4 auto tuner. I am planning to use it
with a 100 watt output rig. My questions
are as follows:

1. I suspect because of the numerous
components within the tuner there is
more to go wrong than a manual tuner?
2. The only advantage of an auto tuner
is convenience?
3. Distant lightning, snow & heavy wind can
cause static which may ruin the tuner?

Any worthwhile comments would be appreciated.
