I was using an antenna tuner I bought new back in 1983 and it was a Yaesu FC-102. I purchase this nearly mint condition Dentron Super Tuner back in October! I have own 3 other tuners over my past 42 years. Oh, by the way I also have a Dentron Super Super Tuner rated at 3kw. Tuner keeps going without a hiccup! See my reviews of both of those amps for more info on how much I appreciate the quality of this tuner. I keep the amp output between 900-1k so as not to press my luck. Uses 2 3-500zg tubes for legal limit out. When I was looking for a heavy duty tuner, I threw out a WTB here on eHam and almost instantly got 3 responses all wanting to sell me a Dentron Super Tuner! I picked the seller who wanted $100 total with shipping to Alaska. The previous owner put in a bypass switch (professionally done). Simple design, a tapped coil inductor and 2 heavy duty variable caps. My amp puts out 800 watts PEP on SSB and the Dentron handles it with ease. I thought I had already reviewed this gem, but looks like I didn't.
