Tuning was not the issue for me but signal strength was. I used copper strap as well, about 8 inches of it, from tuner to feedpoint. If you had good signals on both RX and TX then you are in the minority as almost anyone that has used such a setup reports crappy performance on 80m and barely marginal on 40m.My 80m Hamstick worked better and actually allowed me to work Europe from the mobile on 80m on many occasions where the 102 and tuner sucked.
