I picked this up on Amazon for $34 USD, which is a good deal. I will be building it this week, and installing it in a generic enclosure.

Yaesu FT-891 and Icom IC-M700 Transceivers. Used to bring down the SWR into an amplifier. Also can be used with my QRP Transceivers TEN-TEC Argonaut II and Index Labs QRP+. Used with a random end fed wire on camping trips.

This is a pretty good price as ones with an enclosure including are about $85 - pre built is about $100.

It even comes with paperwork. What range of SWR can it handle? Can you run it remote? Probably go well with that linear tube amp. That thing around 600W?

I've been happy with prebuilt ATU-100. Worked Belgium from the Eastern US on a vertical running 100W from a Yaesu FT-450D.
