Great Tuner Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I bought this tuner when it was first released and it still works great. I traded my LDG AT-1000pro for this and I like it better.

Fast, Reliable Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I bought the AT-600 to use with my Ten-Tec Centaur 600W tube amp and 135ft Dipole for 80-10 meters. I live with antenna restrictions, so one antenna well hidden is the best I can do. I use the AT-600 remote in the basement. I have coax run to the basement, a 4-1 balun and lightning arrestor outside and 450 ohm ladder line to the dipole. The AT-600 is very fast once the bands have been memorized.

Works Very Well Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I believe in the power of putting the bottom line at the top, so here goes:

The LDG AT-600Pro works perfectly and I would highly recommend it!

I really only needed the AT-200Pro for my Kenwood TS-480HX, however for only another $100, this unit gives me the capability to tune my amp (up to 600 watts) as well, should I ever need to. It only took me about 5 minutes to get it out of the box and into use.

The TS-480HX was quickly re-programmed so that the front panel PF key puts the radio in 10w tune mode. This makes it pretty easy to engage the tuner. It comes with cables for Yaesu and Icom to set it up in auto mode.

I have a G5RV covering 40M and up. The LDG tunes all bands and frequencies effortlessly. It even tunes 80M!

The AT-600Pro tunes all frequencies within 8 seconds, most within a second or two. And over time it learns and reuses stored parameters so that tuning near the same general frequency is accomplished very quickly.

Yes, as others have mentioned, it makes loud-ish relay clacking when tuning a new frequency. But since I was forewarned about this, it doesn't bother me in the least. Big deal - reminds me it is working its tail off at lightning speed. It is quiet when retuning a previously tuned frequency.

It is so easy to use running in auto mode that I haven't even bothered to study all the other non-auto things that it can do - much. Some other time...

Great product, great price, great service. This is the way product companies are supposed to work. I will definitely buy another one or two LDG tuners for other purposes.

'73, good tuning, and good dx-ing!

Great medium power tuner! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I've had my AT600Pro for a few weeks now and it works fine. I use it with the AL-811 amp and replaced a manual tuner. Once it has tuned all the bands I used...it quickly returns when I change frequency...makes operation pretty simple for me...and I like that. I also like the size...
doesn't take up near the space that the manual tuner required. LDG makes great products. I purchased mine from Cheapham.com...great prices and great service. 73...Sam W8VVE

Another well designed LDG product. Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I normally wait after a new item comes out, but I jumped on this as soon as Associated Radio got them in.

I needed a tuner to use with my Amertron 811A amp. I thought it would be a great combo, and it was!

Simply put, it works! It turned a 80 meter dipole with a 1:1 balun into a all band antenna. I like being able to QSY without the extra fiddling with a tuner. Now I need a "no tune" amp....... ;-}

I paid $329 shipped from Associated Radio, and they were also available for $325 shipped at Giga Parts, and $309 before shipping at Cheapham. If they drop under $300 I am buying another!
