Jerry, That's great information and I learned something new about the 718. Dwayne Kincaid LDG ... my ... for ... to ... on ... to ... radio ... adjust ... AT-...
I own an RT-11 and PT-11 but they don't quite fit my needs. I want to use one tuner with either of two radios so the PT-11 won't do with the second radio. I...
Ben - I use my RT-11 with my Pegasus. If you use N4PY software for the Pegasus, it's really great. The N4PY documentation shows how to hook up an external...
John, The answer to which tuner is best would depend on the radios that you have. The 'magic' memories of the pro series tuners will not work with Ten-Tec...
Hi Dwayne: Excuse me for butting in but I'm in a similar boat to John. I'm new to tuners as my previous rig (Yaesu FT-990) had a built-in tuner. I just bought...
Tony, That's a good question. I'd be happy to fill in the blanks. This is long, so get some coffee or a soft drink. One of the assumptions that LDG tuners have...
Dwayne, Thanks for your answer to Tony's question. That helped me understand a lot about auto-tuners. The z-11 Pro is my first experience with one so I am...
... something ... Dwayne - First, thanks for the explanation of autotuners. That was really enlightening. Yes, one of my radios is a Ten Tec. I assume from...
John, Yes, the AT-200Pro (which is actually rated to 250 watts) is fine for tuning at 100 watts and a TT radio. As to that beta internal tuner, contact me off...
Dwayne I have been reading the mail on the power handling capabilities of various LDG tuners, especially with transmitters with automatic foldback capability....
Dave, You finally got me on one. I don't know if the IC-740 has a fold back circuit or not. You would have to ask Icom. Most solid state radios have a fold...
Hi Dave, Let me know how you travel, as I have got an Icom IC-740 as well. Great ole Rig. I Currently have a AT-11MP Auto Tuner on my IC-706MKiiGm but would...
Hi Dwayne: Thank you very much for taking the trouble to send such a full reply. I think I understand the situation much better now. All the best, Tony 7J1ALV....
Mike, A better way to say it would be "... ANY tuning is initiated by RF only while in the Auto mode". The point I was going for is that in Semi mode you lose...
I use my AT-11MP on my 706IIG as well. Works fine, except for the usual 15-17 meter instability! Did see a cure on the 706 Users Group site, that looks easy...
Dwayne, I appreciated the posting below. However, that's the sort of clarification that should have been posted in LDG's website, their advertising and in the...
Doug, This all started a decade ago with people still using tube radios. In a sense, the TT final amps act a lot like tube finals. We've been putting this info...
Hi Doug, Those pin diodes would have to handle several *thousand* volts to be reliable; as Dwayne said, it's not practical. As for those Harris shipboard...
Just a cautionary note. I have been running my Z11-PRO on a 9V battery for a few weeks. Took it to an ARES event, and when I tried to tune, I got a lot of...
Neal, That's good information. A fresh Alkaline 9V battery will run the Z- 11Pro for a couple of months, but it depends on it's use. Obviously, the more you...
john, i have a FT897D and am using a LDG AT-100 PRO and have a similar problem. mine will tune "after a struggle" and will be OK for a short period and then...
I have noticed a similar problem on mine on 17 meters, I have found if I lower the power to about 5 watts it will tune. Hope that helps Bill W4VD ... From:...
You might want to try the RadioWorks Line Isolator I have two of the T-4-500s and they work wonders with any coax/ANT/tuner you own. I can't explain the theory...
