[Elecraft] K2 remote antenna tuner question

[Mike WA8BXN]

Hi Ron, 
 
I have a couple of those LDG tuners and like them. I have no experience with
the SGC tuners. 
 
I did have a problem with the LDG tuner in single digit F temps, but the
winter has been mild here and that was only one night. I think I could
easily run an extension cord out to where the tuner enclosure is (a plastic
mailbox) and put a 100 watt light bulb in it to turn on when it gets cold. 
 
With a little extra work you can run power to the LDG tuner via the coax.
Probably the same could be done with the SGC tuner.

I'm shopping for a remote antenna tuner that will work well with my 
K2/10. At the moment I'm favouring the LDG Z11ProII and building a 
Weather proof container to put it in. The LDG draws little current and 
May be battery powered. SGC make outdoor tuners and they have a wide 
Temperature operating range, down to -35C. However they need external 
Power. 
 
Customer service is important to me, as is reliability. 
 
Recommendations?
