Mike,

No experience here with the lDG, but I did see Ron's post and know 
others on the list have the LDG.  I do have an MFJ-998 since 2008 with 
no problems.  I don't think the interface is an issue since you use that 
boat anchor yaesu.

The LDG is rated  a little less power  wise than the MFJ, but the LDG 
covers 6 meters and the MFJ doesn't.

As for a long wire:  Don't know what provisions on the LDG, but the MFJ 
has a  connection for single wire feed.   There are 2 coax connections 
(ant 1 and ant 2) and the single wire post.  however the single  wire 
and ant 1 are in parallel, so it is  either/or.   You can't have both a 
long wire and coax on ant 1 at the same time.

I have no idea how it will tune a long wire,  all my antennas are 
reasonably close to resonant.

I use an Alpha Delta 4 position  coax switch to switch between  low band 
dipole, hex beam, 30 meter GP, and a dummy load.   I'm connected via ant 
1 on the tuner and do all switching via the 4 position switch.

BTW,  I hope in the next day or  so to extract some audio from our chat 
Saturday night on 40 meters.    I have more than 1 e-mail address here 
for you,so let me know what to use when I send the .wav file.

73, Steve KW3Aso
