Did you spend the money yet? reason I ask is I'd look at the LDG 
equivalent as the ICOM external tuners aren't as good generally 
though not sure on that one, they can't tune as much as the LDG 
tuners usually. Generally though if it won't tune it will let you 
know after a few seconds or maybe you'll just have to know, if it's 
still tuning in 15 seconds it's not going to.
