Alan: 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.

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. Alan - N7MIT [*]
