Jim,
I have owned several MN-2700's over the years. I found them to tune most of
what I asked them to, and to be ruggedly constructed. I'm not saying they
are as solid as the MN-2000, however. The only things I have found to watch
are the lever switches that switch in extra capacitance are often arced over
and they are definitely "unobtanium" by now, plus being a real pain to
change!! I would ask for detailed closeup pictures of those switches before
buying. Also the knob "skirts" are very important in being able to return
to the same settings each time, and they over the years have cracked and
slip on the shaft, so watch for cracks in the plastic (can only be seen from
the inside, unfortunately). Other than those things, a very fine tuner!
73,
Don, WB5HAK

Hi All:
I've been itching to get on 160 Meters, but my beloved MN-2000 won't get
me
there. Before I put out a "Wanted To Buy" post for an MN-2700, I'd like
some owners' impressions on how good a tuner it is. My MN-2000 has been
the
perfect tuner for me, except for the lack of 160 Meter capability. Is the
'2700 as easy to tune, and has it proven to be as reliable? The MN-2000
is
built like a tank; is the '2700 cut from the same cloth? Is there
anything
to watch out for when buying a '2700?
Thoughts, guidance and opinions would be appreciated.
Thanx & 73,
Jim
