I use a ProIII and an Icom AH-4, what a COMBO.

The antenna is a loop and it tunes all bands, same tuner

been mounted in a plastic garbage can for 5 years (to shield

from the HOT Florida sun and it works JAM-UP.

Try one you will like it, google AH-4 and you will get many

ideas on mounting and antenna's as well.....Mac

AH4. Great unit. Use it w/my PROIII, and w/Better RF adapter w/my 897D.Heard good things about the SGC couplers too.

I have had my ticket since 1979, but have not had a shack set up
for several years, I am going to set up a new shack in a couple
of months and want to replace my old KW107 supermatch with
an auto tuner (well, I will probably move the 107 over to the
standby shelf )

Anybody care to share experiences with various units?

(I have been away from the game for a while and am just
beginning to research equipment - so not yet up to speed
on whats available.

Rig will most likely be an Icom 756 pro III - with my old 820S
sitting beside it - probably use a dipole or G5RV)

Tnx

Well theres not enough info to properly answer the question.
Are you going to use an amp or run barefoot?
And if your not going to run an amp why spend money on an auto tuner
when theres already one in the Pro III?
But since were all sharing war stories,
I have an IC-7000 W/ LDG 7000 AT And it is a perfect combo.
This tuner will tune anything.(although a tuner just fools your radio into
believing that there is a good SWR.)But thats how it goes.
Good luck and 73

For all of my portable work with an 857d and just running 100 watts, I use an LDG AT-200PRO. I love it. It's simple to use and generally gives me a 1:1 on everything from a G5RV, Hamsticks, Buddiepoles etc...

I plan on testing it on a random wire here in the near future. But... when I finally get around to buying that Tokyo Hi-power that pushes a kw, it's going to be a "Palstar" all the way.

Doesn't the Tokyo Hi-power have a built in tuner ?
