Re: WANTED: BetterRF 7000 screwdriver control

I had the HS 1800 HP and used just a double pole switch, up / down. My 7K has the multi function meter, swr, alc, po so when I tune drop the RF out to 10%, use RTTY for carrier. Adjust the antenna and watch for the dip on the 7K done!

?

Some of those tuners don’t work well as it shifts resonance so the count # gets you close but I touch it up.

?

I run a Hi Q 6” coil now and have an old school SDC 100, counter only and make note of my setup for cap hat, 6’, 4’ or 3’ whip so I know the settings.

?

Works great as I have 3 consecutive 1C first place field day finishes.

All,

I was just able to find a used Tunematic TM1 units with the Icom interface on facebook of all places and snapped it up. (I had ordered the West mountain Target tuner for my obsolete Hi-Sierra HS1500mkII since it doesn’t have any turns counter.? I had been waiting over a year and it is still not scheduled to ship until late September due to multiple components being unobtainable since covid) I’m in the process of installing it now and looking forward to getting past the manual tuning which is a royal PITA. Anyone have any experience with this setup?

WARNING: External Source Email

I second the Tunematic. Mine is the Lite version, very simple to use with good repeatability. The antenna is a ground mounted Tarheel 100HP. HOA stealth.
