Gang - just wanted to let everyone know about my experience with
building the LDG QRP Autotuner. In a word - super!!
I assembled it over a two week period; was interrupted by work (^%*%$#$)
and a woodworking project - building a clock out of red oak. Anyway,
I can say that it was a VERY easy kit to assemble, manual done well, and
the parts were all present; it was easy to locate their "homes" on the
board.
I had one question on the identification of the LEDs and mounting them
on the front panel. Sent an e-mail to LDG and got a very prompt reply
from them with the info I needed. The tuner aligned easily with my
digital VOM (an analog model would work too), and worked perfectly
right from the get-go on power-up.
Have not yet had a chance to try it out with various wire antennas, only
my six band vertical and Cushcraft A3S yagi. I tried it behind my
Icom IC-775DSP and with the 38 Special at 3 watts. Works great!
If you are looking for a very nice looking and quick tuning autotuner,
I think you'll like this piece of equipment.
No association with LDG, etc.
(Thanks Scott Rosenfeld / NF3I for the group buy effort on the LDG
tuners - much appreciated.)
