I really prefer the LDG tuners over the MFJ. I have several and they all work well. I also have an MFJ tuner so my comparison is based on side-by-side operation. Right now, I have the AT-600Pro in line with the K3/100 and the the Ameritron ALS-600. I have very good results running into a 160 feet doublet fed with good quality 300 ohm twinlead. I have a DX Engineering 1:1 current balun inline after the tuner. This is a very effective setup.
