Great performer Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
Other than having to set the "sticky-tune" each time the set is turned on (this provides current fine tuning ajustments, not just the last memory-setting), this ATU works flawlessly. I use it on marine and aeronautical bands only, but have no reason to think it would perform any different on the amateur bands. I will definitely add more of these units.

can't make up it's mind Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Tried to tune up a 32 foot veritcal wire with all sorts of radials and sometimes it would tune a band , and sometimes not.

I got it to tune 75 meters, went to another band, and then 1 minute later went back to 75 and it wouldn't tune 75.

Got it to tune 12 meters, went to 30 meters (it had fits trying to tune 30), went back to 12 and it wouldn't tune 12.

This scenario went on with all the hf bands. Tuned some then maybe not.

I tried the tuner in 2 locations, on the desk and out at the antenna. Both locations gave poor results.

Never got it to tune 17 meters, my favorite band.

My AH-4 tuned all of these bands with ease. Too bad it could only handle 100 watts.
