I have 5 or 6 big tuners and about as many of those little handhelds including one of the PDC - 5 you posted I never really messed with that PDC and dont think Ide trust running its rating of 100 wats through it due to how cheaply and chinsey its made.

I also have a Vanco 100 watt matcher its brand new an Ive yet to test it and look at the inside construction. Now I have 2 of the Maco 300 watt 10-12 meter matchers and can tell you I have honestly putabout 700 watts on sideband through it without a problem. I actually had one of them setup on a spare 10 meter setup and had a Texas Star 500 hooked up to it and ran it everyday which is why I bought my second one from Peddler 2 years ago because I knew they were trustworthy.

I tell everyone that as far as bang for buck those heavy little Maco handheld matchers cant be beat and are well worth the $30.00 and Ide recommend them allday long because of mine and others experience and proven durrability with them.
