I am looking at one of these for use with my mobile station. It is a Kenwood
TS50S and Hamstick. Anyone using one? How is it working? Thanks. Dave K6DLW |

Use mine with an IC718.
Have the cables to control it from the rig, works like an Icom tuner but I get to keep more cash in the bank! Delighted with it! 73 de Bill "Ken Bessler" wrote in message ...

Hi Dave ...
Been using mine for mostly portable OP using a 20 meter dipole usually launched to 20 feet or so. The Z-100 tunes this successfully on 80 thru 10 meters. It seems to be more fussy on 6 meters and 160, so having an antenna made for those bands would help it out. It tunes fast, and I was amazed how cool it runs even tuning the 20 meter dipole on 80 ! (Had some good QSOs there). It is a bit noisy, with relay clatter until the first tuning on each band is made. Once a frequency is tuned low enough in SWR, though, it's very fast. It doesn't always get below 2:1 SWR, but it's satisfactory. I put a manual tuner in line if I really want to get SWR low !
