Internal tuner available?
Hi all, I have a 6600, and kinda regret not getting the tuner version. Doing a search, I see it can be a user installed thing. But I don't see anything like that in the hardware for sale.
Is the Tuner still available as a separate purchase, and is it a good option?

Hi Michael, the 6600 comes with a built in tuner. Did you mean that you have a 6400?

You should ask a dealer, we got ours as an option into the 6400 some time ago.
If your antennas all work good or if you hava linear that ist also good swr.. no need for the rattlesnake

Hi Ha,
I just have a couple bands I want to touch up the VSWR on, like 10 and 17 MHz. I've been messing with an EFHW for a bit, and while it appears to be working FB, I find I miss the low VSWR on those two bands.

Oh good lord and a facepalm! Well, this is an embarrassment for certain.
Yes, I do have the 6600, and yes I just tried the ATU, and yes, it works very nicely. I'd been running under the assumption that the toner was an option in the 6600 as well.
To say I feel exceptionally **** is an understatement.
Regardless, thanks a million - I'm going to play with the tuner and learn about it now. 🙄

Don't feel bad. I have plenty of first hand experience at doing things like that!
