The tuner works great, it does have a very sharp tunning area and you can miss the 'sweet spot'. However, once you use it a time or two it becomes easy.
tu fer video, Im _HC6EP I got the hb2b this week, this weekend I will be operating near 14050 to test it... but it seems to sound good. I will also use the emtech tuner, it is soo nice!
I have the R4020 and Emtech tuner as well. It has been awesome for portable and hiking setups. Put it all on the air with a zipcord antenna and it works the world. 73 de Korey--W3TUA
John - Great little video and a very neat QRP rig. You and your brother have been so inspirational in my developing interest in HAM radio. Having enjoyed your videos and Wil's videos, I can only imagine what your Dad would have added to our learning as a "YouTube Elmer". I am very interested in your tuner as I am experimenting the same tuner for my FT-817. You also have my interest in CW piqued . . . will have to get off my duff and start learning.
Always so good to hear from you. I’ve been following along with your success with AMP3 and your ham videos. You continue to offer excellent videos and content.
You are right about our Dad; he was a real inspiration to those around him. He had a courtesy for almost everything and he taught us to appreciate learning about new things.
All the best to you and your family and Merry Christmas!
Great Video. Been practicing cw (morse code) myself. I am currently good at 15 words per minute receive and I am pushing to 20 words per minute. I asking for a sw40+ for Christmas hope to get on the air soon :)
Great video and nice setup. I'll have to check into that little tuner kit. I have looked at the ten tec rig. Pretty cool. Keep up the great work.

On another thought. Too bad daddy wasn't able to live during the YouTube era. He would have loved making videos with all the stuff he was involved.
