[Antennas] MFJ-993B Tuner question

Thu Jan 11 15:59:50 EST 2007

Hi All,
I've finally decided to take a giant leap and replace my old MFJ-948 manual 
tuner with an automatic tuner (used the 948-949 series for years) next week. 
I've pretty much settled on the MFJ-993 tuner for a number of reasons. The 
feature of both a bargraph and analog meters being a big one (I like an 
analog meter when first putting up and cutting an antenna). The internal 
freq counter would also be a 'bonus'. The other 'possible' choice is the 
LDG AT-200 Pro, but no analog meter, it's about 20ドル.00 cheaper.
Does anyone here know of a reason I SHOULD NOT buy the 993? Yeah, I know 
what they say about MFJ in general, but have used their stuff for many years 
with few problems. Does the 993 have a good or bad "rep"?
