[Elecraft] LDG

[Monty Shultes]

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.
