The more I think about the silly response that you got from LDG I begin to realize why they don't have much regard for Elecraft as a market for their products.
When you realize that most "off-shore" rigs have built-in tuners that will rarely handle more than 3:1 SWR they are a good market for them. But, the built in Elecraft tuners will usually handle up to at least 10:1 and in fact, in my experience, a higher mis-match than an LDG tuner it makes Elecraft users a pretty poor pool of perspective customers. Consequently, looking at their sales over the years they probably wind up with a pretty distorted view of the market share.
