The LDG tuners use relays, but remember they're in a big housing with out 
anything else in there so they're much better than the relay tuners in the 
radios would be, I'm not a fan of internal relay tuners but external ones I 
like. I'm told that should work with *any* Kenwood radio with the 6 pin 
tuner hookup on the back of it. They're good at replying to emails at LDG 
though so it might be worth while to ask. I was told it should work though.
