Bob, as I reported a few days ago, I recently purchased the LDG automatic
antenna tuner. This was after considerable research and feedback from
several friends who have experience with antenna tuners and with my
connections at AES, R&L Electronics, and HRO, among a few others. They all
told me, without one single exception, that MFJ has significant quality
control problems, and several have encountered issues with MFJ antenna
tuners, and they would recommend the LDG tuners over the MFJ tuners every
time. I only had one person say anything bad about his LDG tuner, but I
think it was one of the older models, and there may have been some
extenuating circumstances involved. Based on this information, I purchased
the AT1000PROII. However, LDG also produces a AT100PROII that is less
expensive and is probably excellent for lower powered rigs. In my particular
case, I purchased what I did because I plan to use my ALS-600 amplifier, and
so, I need the AT1000PROII, rather than the AT100PROII.

Subject: Suggestions for antenna tuners
Greetings,
I have decided that I would like to get an external tuner to use with my
TS590. I know that at least one person is using the MFJ 993B. What other
tuners are people using and why?
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Bob Ray, KD0BR
