My trusty LDG Z-100+ tuner died last night. Luckily, it is one month before the end of the two-year warranty so I will be sending it back for repair. In the mean time, I am without a tuner. I do not know when (if ever) I'd buy an amp, so I do not need a high-power tuner. I will be using the tuner with an Elecraft K3 and Genesis G59 with 10W amp (GPA10).
I have narrowed my selections down to the following: LDG Electronics: AT-100ProII AT-200ProII MFJ: 993B I am *no* fan of MFJ. I had a 949E that I never liked, the meters would never calibrate, and the DL was ~60ohms. However, I like the Z-matching range and the SWR-matching range. It also has the cross-needle meters (that wouldn't previously calibrate) and an LCD readout with multiple functions. Also, I have since built a reliable, 100W 50ohm dummy load. The Z-100Plus has problems tuning some freqs especially in wet weather. The reviews on eham.net (read with a grain of salt) do not favor the AT-100ProII as much as the AT-200ProII and MFJ-993B. Anyone have any experience (good or bad) with any of these tuners? Are there any other recommendations (other than the KAT3)? ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
