MFJ Enterprises Original MFJ-949E 1.8-30 MHz 300 Watt Deluxe Versa Tuner II Antenna Tuner

Excelente alcance y funcionamiento, me encanta la versatilidad de este producto.

Few thing you have to know… it doesn’t comes with instructions manual. So you have to download it from MFJ webpage. Once downloaded, they doesn’t tell much either. Only basic guidelines. The best way to learn to use it is to lower the transmitter power to a constant 5 watts and start to rotate all three main knobs until you get the right pointing needle (reflected pwr) at it lowest position and the left pointing needle (foward pwr) at 5 watts in the scale and that’s it. No rocket science here. Try in different frequencies and you’ll see it’s magic!

I feel like MFJ has just let their quality go. Something this expensive doesn’t even come with its own power cord? Seriously?

works excellent....thank you amazon..

Love this tunner. It does what it should. I am using it conjuction with a Yeasu 450D radio and a Windom off-center antenna. My tunner tunes all bands that this antenna makes available.

This unit works well and was just what I needed to tune out my antenna and got my SWRs perfectly flat 1 to 1 and the dummy load allows me to peak out my radio for optimal performance.

Bought as a gift

Using this on a multiband EFHW antenna and it works great. I tweaked the antenna to get the SWR between 1.5 to 1.7 and the manual tuning was a breeze. Yes, this MFJ tuner can tune SWR well out of the FT-991A 3.0 range, but investing the time to get your antenna SWR as low as possible makes your entire configuration much more efficient. The Yaesu FT-991A has an internal tuner but I wanted to perform the tuning without going off frequency and engaging the internal tuner and potentially broadcasting on top of someone else. This is especially true for busy days on the bands. I initially tuned on the center of the band and recorded the Transmitter Matching, Inductor Selector, and Antenna Matching values for each band. As you move off center of the band you will find that you almost always only have to adjust the transmitter matching value and I do that while calling. Some people have complained that the edges of the unit shows cracked paint. This is only because of the manufacturing process where the metal is bent to form the case after it is painted. It is easy to clean up if you get one that shows this and it really bothers you. The only other thing I would advise for any new HAM radio operators is to invest in the best coax! I use LMR 400 for my permanent installation and even use an LMR 400 jumper between the radio and the tuner. MPD Digital coax is good quality if you want to purchase it here on Amazon. 73! KD2ZTA

This model is probably the most popular tuner for the ham radio guys and cbers ever made.

Priced right. Works great. I especially like the built in 50 ohm load.
