Hello Bill. To me a Transmatch and an Aerial Tuning Unit are one and the
same thing. I have an MN2000 and regard it as a really superb piece of
equipment both physically and electrically.
I would not refer to an MN2000. And an LDG in the same sentence!! Regards.

Rick,
So is there a difference betten the MN-2000 and lets say the
LDG-1000PRO?
Am I better off buying an antenna tunner?
Thanks!

Bill,
Just remember the MN-2000 is a transmatch and not an antenna
tuner. All it really does is match the 50 ohm output impedence of your
transmitter to the impedence it sees at the end of the coax. From the coax
connector on, you still have all the SWR and heat loss due to dissapation.
Good luck.

Thanks for all the wonderful answers!
I was reading through the manual last night and on Page
1-2 it says:
50 ohm coax with SWR of 5:1 or less.
So I am going to tune the antenna somewhere in the middle
so my SWR will be like 3:1 rather than try to tune almost 6:1.
I dont want any sparks or arcing the the MN-2000 since its
brand new :)
