For general coverage listening, I use a "T" network tuner on my 30 foot vertical wire (wire runs direct to the rcvr, not thru coax). For a tuner for random wires a simple T or L network will work fine, such as the low-cost MFJ units. It won't matter to the rcvr if it sees 50 or 100 ohms, but if the antenna is up around 500 to several kilohms, which it will be at some frequencies, the tuner will make quite a difference. This is especially true of the newer rcvrs like the R-1000's and those that have a REAL 50 ohm input. Bob K9EUI
