Yes, so far, I've had very good luck with the MFJ 998.

The only thing I needed sighted assistance for was getting the tuner to
recognize my TS590, during the initial setup.

I know the tuner is rated for max legal power of 1500 watts, although I only
run about 500 watts here with the tuner and my ALS600.

Tom, have you had good experiences with the 998?  I use a Nye Viking manual
tuner on 80 meters, the only band I need a tuner for.  I have considered
buying an auto-tuner, but don't know which one would be the most reliable
and capable of handling a lot of goo.

Speaking of reliability, I recently fried my LDG TW-1.  It sure smelled bad
when I was cooking it, Hi.
