Hi Ron, I tried an LDG tuner operated remotely in an enclosure at the base of a 125' tower with 120 radials. It was powered with a local 115VAC - 12VDCPS.
I had two failures, and even though LDG fixed the tuner under warranty, I gave up and sold it. They couldn't ... or wouldn't ... tell me the cause of the failures. Before I purchased the tuner I asked them about low temperature survival and the said they had no idea. I'm in Montana where the temperatures can reach -40F, and the tower can attract quite a static charge from blowing snow. Take your pick for the cause of the failures. (;-) I had a friend with an SGC tuner that worked well. If you go the SGC route, take careful note of the power rating. That's why I didn't buy an SGC. 73!
