I guess I don't understand. Your suggesting to install this tuner inside the RF deck?? How will you control it?? How will you switch it to difference bands?How will you prevent it from tuning as you transmit??? on a Grounded grid amplifier, the impedance changes
drastically as you add drive and adjust the output power.? ? On this particular map it could be 1.5 to 3 to 1 depending on drive and tuning.

Here's a late entry to your options: Get one of the ATU kits that are readily available online, running the software from N7DDC.? Modify the HW, and/or the SW. But you have all of the pieces you need in the kits.
software:
hardware:
just one of MANY available from AMZN:?
Or from AliExpress:?
I've ordered and built the ATU-100's in the past, they work quite well -- I've used them with QRP radios (e.g. QDX from QRP-labs), as well as a k3 with no tuner.?
