Great first impressions Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Tuning up a half size G5RV squashed into a postage stamp garden has until now proven to be a nightmare. Arching ATUs are just not fun (SEM Transmatch).

The CAP.CO is a neat sized package. Slightly old styling but who cares I want performance and this ATU gives it. It is a breeze to tune and looks really solidly made. My G5RV is now tuned to 1:1 using everything from 10 to 400W. The claimed power ratings look conservative which is good news. The controls are smooth and easy to use. There is no sign of hand capacitance or those little bites that some tuners give.

Time will tell if the relays hold out but if not the basic components are real quality and I will simply hardwire the ATU. This is a bit of kit to keep and get good use out of.

Excellent build quality Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I've owned mine for over 10 years and its never given me any trouble. Very smooth slow motion controls give it a quality feel. In my quiet period when I sold all my radios and ceased operating, I still kept the atu for future use; now I'm glad I did not sell it.

However, I don't use it as often as I recently acquired a relay driven auto ATU from LDG.

CAP.CO.SPC.300 ATU Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
Its well built and looks nice. The only reason Im not giving it a 5/5 is I dont like the idea of having to power it.

If the 12 DC power is cut then everything antenna wise goes to earth. This might be a good feature but I found it a pain.

It takes full UK legal power and can be used with coax or open feeder.
