Hey Andy:

Been working extra long hours trying to get a job out....anyway

I will be using my IC740 with it. No interface or anything else. Will just use it as a tuner for my zs6bkw (souped up g5rv).

The kid wants to get rid of it because he wants a roller inductor tuner which is capable of higher output. He said that he was having problems with the tuner and sent it to LDG and it came back tested good (saw the paperwork). He found a bad solder connection in his SO239 at the antenna connection that was the problem. Nothing to do with the tuner.

I was/am pretty hesitant, but he offered to throw in a dummy load and a SWR meter, so I am kinda leaning toward taking the deal.

I have the tuner to try out so hopefully will be able to hook it up later this week when I can actually come home from work at a decent hour.

Will let you know.
