Go with the KAT3 - not only does it tune an awful lot of weird stuff,
it remembers it and will just switchs to its known state for that
band. It's internal, so no need for an additional ext unit, external
power etc.
This is the same ATU as the KX1/K2, only better as far as I can tell
(I don't have either a KX1 or K2, but I have friends who do).
If you find it can't tune your antenna, I'm pretty sure nothing else
will. Conversely, I'm sure that if an LDG tuner will, the KAT3 will to
(again, I don't have an LDG to check).

Greetings everyone,
I'm trying to debate whether or not to pickup an external LDG tuner
or just
go
with the K3 built-in ATU. Does anyone know the tuning
specifications of the
ATU? I need a tuner that will hopefully tune every band to <= 1.5:1
on a
Cobra
multiband dipole antenna. The built-in ATU in my TS-850 has
difficulties
with
certain frequency ranges within a couple of bands. Should I go with
the
built-in
K3 ATU, or remove that from my order and just pickup an a decent
external
LDG tuner? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
