It works very well. Although I did order it with the Kenwood cable, shortly after I received it Palstar sent me a message saying that they had a batch of Kenwood cables which were miss-wired and that I should send it back for a replacement. However, I never did because I also use the tuner with other radios and the Kenwood cable would not work with them. Furthermore, I found that it was quite easy to simply hook it up with an RF cable and led it sample the signal and tune itself. I primarily use it on 80 meters with a G5RV antenna. It also works quite well on 40 with that antenna but I have a Mosley Pro 67B which I use on that and higher bands and it does not require a tuner. Unless you plan to buy a used tuner you will find that Palstar is not currently selling any. Apparently, they are coming out with a new model after the first of the year. From what I understand they had to stop selling the current model because of a dispute with the designer of the unit who has since left the company.

I'm considering purchasing one and would appreciate comments on how it's performing for you. Plus what type interface cable are you using?
