I would like to hear from owners of this auto tuner about any operating
quirks / hints / tips. Mine arrives tomorrow and while I have already
downloaded and devoured the manual there is nothing quite like hearing
straight from other hams. I have read the eHam reviews but still would like
to hear more remarks..

Hey Charlie,
I have a few of them. One in my truck has about 200,000 miles on it,
from a few Ford Explorers...
It seems to tune well. My antenas are typically bug catchers but also
have one in my Chrysler LXI minivan. A great little tuner. I would
also look at the MFJ, but I have not personally seen or tried it.

I can't speak to the AT-1000, but I have an AT-100 and I LOVE it! It simply
remembers any frequency I "visit" and when I return to that band/frequency,
it is there, and I mean right NOW! I am not a fan of "tuners", however due
to the civilian and military frequencies I am authorized, I simply couldn't
put up enough antennas to cover it all. So, using my inverted Vee and and
Antron 99 (to take advantage of polarization of others on the higher
frequencies), I can do all I need to do. I *may* not be the loudest fella
on, but I DO get good reports, AND good reviews from other LDG owners.

Hope this helps.

.... i have an AT-100 too. it's absolutely wonderful! i used for a
time a 25 feet aluminum pipe lee than one inch in diameter, and a few
radials, God only knows what size. that setup brought in for me
everything from Argentina west, to Korea east. I think the '1000 is a
definite improvement, albeit a little expensive for me.
I didn't even think to look at other ones. Besides, Dwaine's
service is flawlees! A most important parameter, even more so with the
difficulties with getting service here in 4Zulu land.

Hi Charlie,
I have owned mine since 2003. I have used it with
an AL-811 on an 80m loop
and an 160-10m "Cobra Ulyra-lite" antenna. It worked very good on the
loop,BUT I had some
matching problems at 160m. I finally got it all working by adjusting
the feedline lenths on that
antenna. The ant. comes with 100ft. of ladderline,which I then
connected to the Radioworks
"remote Balun"/ 4 to 1,and the to 20ft. of rg-213. It wouldn't tune
there! On 160m, at about
1930mhz, it just quit! I had to change the LENTH OF THE COAX to 50ft.
! ! I don't know
why,but it works!! The TUNER.........well, I have to say that it
makes a lot of noise,BUT
It works great,and i would buy it again!!!


Good "radioing" my fellow ham,
