Power Genius XL Tuner Dimensions - Have they been finalized?

Reg

Have the Power Genius XL Tuner Dimensions been finalized? I am going to have a cabinet maker make a cabinet to house my PG XL Amp, Beko HLV1000LDP 2 meter amp, FLEX-6700, LP-500 Station Monitor & FLEX amp tuner. Are the dimensions of the tuner finalized so I can go ahead with design/build?

Not related to dimensions but I sure hope the tuner is cable of tuning more than 3-1 swr.  My MFJ 998 auto tuner is capable of 32-1 swr and 1500 watts,

Reg, please post a few photos when your project is done.   I have similar equipment, and will love to see how your cabinet turns out.

Understood.  That being said, I haven't found an antenna yet that the MFJ couldn't tune.  Currently the only antenna that I need a tuner on is a 160 meter inverted L.   The antenna is cut for the low end of the band but if I get up towards the top end of the band the SWR goes up over 4-1.  The MFJ tuner just takes a second or two to tune on the top part of the band.  Really looking forward to seeing some specs on the new tuner although I am still waiting for the PGXL amp!

I'm really looking forward to getting the amp.  The tuner will just be icing on the cake.  20 months and counting.

Howard, what were the improvements? Need an update from Gerald on the PGXL. Bill W9JJB

I hope the tuner will be out of the antenna circuit on Receive. The reason is, when monitoring many bands and the tuner is matching a low frequency band the tuner presents a big loss on the higher bands. IE. if a 6700 is monitoring 6-8 bands of FT8 and the tuner matches 80 or 160M bands the other bands will drop dead. this happens on ANT2 on the 6700 now. Ant1 does not have the tuner in line with the antenna on receive.[not widely known].

The wait is brutal but it’s well worth it. It really is an outstanding amplifier. Much better if you can put it across the room from you cause it’s on the loud side compared to alpha or acom. For someone like me that listens much more than operates it’s good to change your operating style so you flip it from stand by to operate when you wish to transmit and back again if you won’t be transmitting for another 20 min or hour (or 9 days). It goes from standby to operate in a second, really cool! Hopefully they release more updates that give us the option to make the fan ramp up from a true 0.
