LDG Electronics Z-100A-DXE

[Mudfoot]

Kinda looks like LDG partnered with DX Engineering to sell this tuner. Looks like the standard Z100, which are good little tuners.

The best part of this deal is it comes with interface cables for lots of rigs. It comes with a total of 6 different cables. Decent price, especially with the included cables.

I ordered one to use with my FT-891. I need something simple to touch up my 40/80 meter dipole.

Yes they are. There's another tuner I been looking at. MAT-30. DX Engineering sells them. Cheaper than LDG. Reviews look good.

I run a at200 pro and it's been trouble free for years
My brother runs the 600 pro, another friend uses the 100 for his Anytone on his pickup to cover without switching antennas....
I like them.

I once had the LDG AT-1000. They do tune well but the only compliant I had was the relays made some of the loudest clicks during tuning. The bigger box of the 1000 watt unit seem to amplify it more.

Of course all auto-tuners are noisy, just some are worse than others.

I still eyeball the big Palstar roller inductor auto -tuner. It's pricey but that's a real auto-tuner that could tune a rain gutter.

I have an LDG Z-11 Pro that I've owned for about 10 years, and now pair it with my FT-891.. Yes, a bit noisy, but it does have a bazillion memories and seems to be bullet proof.

I also have a Palstar AT2K, and love it. I have a cheat sheet that I have the positions for different bands/frequencies written down on, and tuning it only takes a few seconds. The auto version would be pretty sweet though!

I will take a look as well2^^^

Did you gander at the MAT Tuner yet? I'm sitting on the fence. I could use another tuner for my vertical antenna when I get around to throwing it up. So far, people seem to like them.

Been running this little tuner for a few days. I'm surprised to see it struggle to tune my 10-20 meter dipole. It's not gonna tune anything close too an AT100 Pro II or higher.
