After looking at the specs for the new LDG 600 watt tuner and their existing KW tuner, I bought the KW model for my Ameritron ALS-600.
I need it to tune my 80 meter open-wire-fed dipole antenna on 80, 75, 60, 40, and 30 meters. I also have a hexagonal beam connected as antenna 2, but "all of a sudden" switching from my former MFJ tuner to the LDG has lowered the SWR on the hexagonal beam, so no tuning is needed. While quirky at times, the tuner does a good job. Once in a while it wants to retune on a previous frequency - I go a few khz up and force a memory recall and all is good. I initially tuned up on every 25 khz between 3.5 and 4 mhz, 7.0 and 7.3 mhz. My biggest wish is that the tuner would always fold the K3's power setting back to 30 watts when tuning is needed.
