KXPA100 play nice with an LDG AT 100 PROII?

[Millerhill]

Can't afford to get the tuner and the amp so thinking of just getting the amp for now. Do you think there would be a major diff using an outboard tuner like the LDG?

Steve, I did not buy the internal tuner either.  Instead I use an
SGC-237 remote autocoupler with my KXPA100 and there are no problems at
all.  The only thing I have to remember is to initially turn the power
knob on the KX3 down to under 20 watts when I go to a new band until the
initial match is resolved.  Then I can jack it up.  I believe the
internal tuner would be smart enough to reduce tune power automatically
but with an outboard setup you have to do it yourself.

Steve,
I use an LDG Z-11 Pro II autotuner with my KXPA100.  It works fine.  If you are using a KX3, you do not manually have to turn down the power when tuning.  There is a menu setting in the KX3 (TUN PWR).  When set to NOR, it tunes at whatever power setting you are currently using.  But, if you set it to a numeric value, it will use that power level when you press the TUNE button.  I leave mine set at 5 watts.  For my auto tuner, it works great.
Don't forget that you have that TUN PWR setting set.  There may be times you need it set to NOR.  For example: when doing the 4W, 6W output calibration you need it set to NOR.
