Update....

I did move the G5RV dipole, all this is in another post about the antennas....

The tuner, had 2 places I looked at to buy a tuner from, both places told me this LDG AT-Pro2 would not work on my 450d radio, lol....but I did buy that tuner, and YES it does work on a 450d, it will tune my G5RV from 10-80m bands, with no problem.....bought this tuner due to it having 2 ports for 2 different antennas, and it having a swr meter and 125 watt meter in it....small enough to set on top of my 450d, and easy to hook up and use.....

Congrats on getting a tuner and getting it hooked up. That tuner is a nice one as are all LDG tuners. Enjoy!

Been running this auto tuner for a couple weeks now and like it really well.....hooked it up to my PS and set it up, it does make little chatter noise as it tunes, but doesn't take long to tune the antenna, does really well, like the meter features it has......yesterday we had a thunderstorm coming in so I unhooked everything by the way, I have my power supply hooked to a surge protector, and unplugged it from the wall outlet ......few hours after the storm passed I hooked everything back up, and thought I would have to do something to the tuner but nope, powered it back up, and didn't have to touch anything tuner was still right where I left it, long as it was unhooked the memory in it was still there....I would recommend this auto tuner to everyone...

Palstar HF-AUTO

I have the Palstar HF-AUTO, it has never missed a beat with my Icom 7800 and PW-1 amp. It costs a bit more than other tuners but well worth it.
