External Antenna Tuner for Aurora

I know this question comes fairly early since Aurora is not available yet.

The FAQ mentions using the internal tuner will be required if you have an impedance mismatch. Is it safe to assume that no external tuner options will work?

    incorrect. The TGXL or any external tuner will work. I’ve had em all. TGXL clearly the best

    Given my current antenna setup I will be using a manual tuner. I recently purchased a EFHW antenna from Myantennas and once I get it setup and installed properly, I might be able to use just the internal ATU in the 520M. But, I won't be sure until I can actually test everything out.

    Update, I will be using the SO3A Tuner Genius TGXL 1x3. It has out performed my HF-Auto and agree with W2PP. Fantastic piece of equipment.
