I agree, a manual tuner just isn't that much of a problem at all. The more 'prep' work you do before hand, finding the settings for things, the quicker/easier they are to use. I think I've probably used just about all the more common ones over the years. I've pretty much found my 'perfect' manual tuner. Not much that it can't get at least 'close' to right. Not that it's 'perfect', but it's done what Ive asked of it. (No, I ain't saying what it is! Might break it and need another one. Done that once already. It hasn't been produced in years and finding parts is the pits.)
I think I've had a built-in tuner in every HF radio I've had in the last while. They come in handy for a lot of things. They aren't substitutes for doing things right, but they certainly take care of 'little' things I may remember too late...
