"SGC couldn't design their way out of a "Wet Paper Bag" and they
didn't do any of the "Original Design Work" on any of the Autotuner
Products. ANY THAT IS A FACT!"

Ok, I get it. No need to bust a blood vessel over this. The SGC
radios are known far and wide as being junk. No argument there. The
SGC tuners however, DO have a good rep, no matter who designed them.
(BTW, Honda didn't do the "original design work" on the automobile
either, yet they make a quality product.) But for the sake of your
argument, we'll dismiss SGC as a player in the coupler/tuner market.
Here's ICOM's take on mounting automatic antenna tuners on sail and
power boats. http://www.icomamerica.com/downloads...ook/chptr7.pdf
