Thanks to all who responded; good info! The ATAS is good but limited to mobile and I use outside antennas for POTA, Field Day and 7QP, etc. I have an IC-100 tuner for an Icom 746 pro that works well so I probably will look at the Z-100plus and the Z-11ProII at SeaPac in two weeks. Marybe I¡¯ll get lucky and find a good used one.
73 and thanks for the help, Bob - W7SCY?

Hi there
US$ 20 was ok for me, and I follow other guys sugestions. One nice
thing of Z-11 ProII is the capability to use 8 AA batteries, making it
independent to work. And was a nice performance during very hard
condx in Italy.?
I used a LW 31m long in two diferent situations and places.
More than 230 QSO's during CQMM Contest (only CW).
More than 430 QSO's during ARI Int'l Contest (CW, SSB and RTTY).
Always with 70-90 watts.

All good info, Thank you. Question: Why did you use the Z-11 proII rather than the Z100 Plus which seems simpler and $20 cheaper?

Good Morning
I used Z-11ProII during a trip to Italy and was great.

I use my FT857D exclusively Mobile or battery portable and would like add an auto tuner for that use. Any suggestions from those who are doing it?
