Thoughts on LDG AT-1000 Pro?

[2RT307]

I have an opportunity to pick one of these up for a good price. Unit was has the ability to read PEP and Avg power, which I don't think it did stock. Supposedly was modified by LDG. This is not the Pro II, just the regular Pro unit. Anybody have any experience with these?

I don't have that one but I do do have the it-100 and it works great.

As far as I know, it is selectable for pep and average. I could be wrong, but a good tuner nonetheless.

do yourself a favor,............ read and understand the manual BEFORE you operate the unit.(yeah, I know......)

make sure that it is grounded properly.

these are nice units, but, ...........if you just load it up @ max power levels, you can (will) let the magic smoke out.

do NOT exceed 30 watts during initial tuning... AFTER a tuning cycle, you can increase power,....you have been warned, .....follow the instructions

the pro 1000 will display either AVG or PEP by cycling the C UP/PEAK button. no mod is required

I have a LDG Z-11 Pro II and it's a pretty awesome little tuner. I'm really considering getting this 1000 Pro, since I recently picked up an Ameritron AL-80B.

Emailed LDG because I was hoping the M-1000 outboard meter was backward compatible (it's not). And Road Squawker, I read the manual already and Gordo's review of it... definitely got the message that this isn't one of those tuners that can tune your chain link fence and run legal limit. I guess that can be said for any tuner though... use low power to initially tune, then add the juice. I think that's why so many guys rag on tuners on eHam... they tuned up wrong and poofed their nice tuner.

Thanks for the input, guys!
