• AirCoreTM Roller Inductor

•Super Heavy Duty Components

• Cross-Needle SWR/Wattmeter

•Antenna Selector

•TrueCurrentTM Balun

•Built-in Dummy Load

• Made in THE U.S.A.

MFJ uses super heavy duty compo-

nents -- roller inductor, variable capaci-

tors, antenna switch and balun -- to build

the world’s most popular high power

antenna tuner.

The rugged world famous MFJ-989C

handles 3 KW PEP SSB amplifier input

power (1500 Watts PEP SSB output

power). Covers 1.8 to 30 MHz, including

MARS and WARC bands.

MFJ’s AirCoreTM Roller Inductor, new

gear-driven turns counter and weighted

spinner knob gives you exact inductance

control for absolute minimum SWR.

You can match dipoles, verticals,

inverted vees, random wires, beams,

mobile whips, shortwave -- nearly any

antenna. Use coax or balanced lines.

You get everything you’ve ever wanted

in a high power, full featured antenna tuner

-- widest matching range, lighted Cross-

Needle SWR/Wattmeter, antenna switch,

built-in dummy load, balun -- all in a sleek,

compact cabinet.

MFJ builds the world’s most popular

high power antenna tuner using these

super heavy duty components . . .

MFJ’s exclusive heavy duty AirCoreTM

Roller Inductor has an air core that can’t

burn up! Get ultra high-Q, lowest loss,

highest efficiency and highest power han-

dling of any roller inductor in ham radio.

MFJ’s exclusive Self-Resonance

KillerTM keeps damaging self-resonances

away from your operating frequency.

Large, self-cleaning wiping contact

gives excellent low-resistance connection

without contact arcing or burning.

Solid 1/4 inch brass shaft, self-align

bearings give smooth non-binding rotation.

Competing tuners use a lossy, low Q,

solid plastic core with erratic electrical con-

tacts and have potentially damaging self-

resonant frequencies. This can cause

excessive heating and melt the core!

Gear Driven Counter

Aprecision gear driven 3-digit turns

counter lets you accurately reset your roller

inductor for quick band changing.

Weighted spinner knob on roller induc-

tor gives you smoother flywheel tuning.

Massive Transmitting Capacitors

Look inside . . . you’ll see two super-

heavy duty transmitting variable capacitors

that can handle 6000 volts. Extra wide

(0.27 inch) stator plate spacing gives you

arc-free operation.

Specially shaped plates give low

minimum capacitance when unmeshed.

This and a hefty 250 pf maximum give you

an extremely wide matching range -- even

on 160 and 10 Meters.

Super Antenna Switch

MFJ-989C’s super heavy duty antenna

switch is made of two individual ceramic

wafers wired in parallel. Extra wide spaced,

heavy duty contacts handle extreme voltages

and currents. We’ve never burned one up!

You can select two coax antennas

(directly or through tuner), balanced line/

random wire, or built-in dummy load.

MFJ TrueCurrentTM Balun

MFJ’s super heavy duty TrueCurrentTM

balun for balanced lines uses two giant 21/2

inch toroid cores. It’s wound with TeflonR

wire connected to high-

voltage glazed ceram-

ic feedthrough insula-

tors.

The MFJ-989C lets

you safely operate high

power into balanced

feedlines without core

saturation or voltage

breakdown.

Some “legal limit”

tuners have inferior

voltage baluns with

smaller diameter toroid

cores and soft plastic

feedthrough insulators that can arc and melt.

More reasons why the

MFJ-989C is the world’s finest

high power antenna tuner:

Built-in Dummy Load

Afull-size 300 Watt non-inductive 50

Ohm dummy load is built into MFJ-989C.

You’ll find it handy for transmitter

tuning, testing and repairing rigs, setting

power level, adjusting mic gain and more.

Lighted Cross-Needle Meter

Lighted Cross-Needle SWR/Watt-meter

lets you monitor SWR, forward and reflect-

ed power simultaneously.

Read both peak and average power in

two power ranges. Meter lamp requires 12

VDC or 110 VAC with MFJ-1312D,

$14.95. Sleek and Compact

The compact MFJ-989C slides right

into your operating position -- you’ll hardly

know it’s there. It’s just 103/4Wx41/3Hx15D

inches. Do you want a bulky “legal limit”

tuner that’s bigger than your amplifier?

Lexan Front Panel

The MFJ-989C has a new nearly inde-

structable multi-color Lexan front panel.

Its detailed logging scales and legends will

be legible for a lifetime of DXing.

Super Construction

MFJ-989C uses PEM nuts (not self-

tapping screws), wing-nut ground post (not

a cheap nut), fire-retardant epoxy glass PC

board (not canvas based), heavy gauge wire

throughout.

No Matter WhatTM Warranty

Every MFJ-989C is protected by MFJ’s

famous one year No Matter WhatTM limited

warranty. We will repair or replace your

MFJ-989C (at our option) for a full year.

Outstanding Customer Service

We’re here to help keep your MFJ-

989C performing flawlessly -- no matter

how long you own it -- call 662-323-0549.

MFJ-989C Legal Limit Antenna Tuner

More hams use MFJ-989s than any other legal limit antenna

tuner in the world! Why? Because MFJ uses super heavy duty

components to make the world’s finest legal limit antenna tuner

MFJ KW Differential-TTM Antenna Tuner

...Gives you absolute minimum SWR . . . Simple 2-knob tuning . . . Lighted

Cross-Needle SWR/Wattmeter . . . AirCoreTM Roller Inductor . . . 6-position

antenna switch . . . Balun for balanced lines . . . 1.8-30 MHz coverage

MFJ’s innovative

Differential-TTM tuner

uses a differential

capacitor that makes

tuning easier than

ever. Gives minimum

SWR at only one set-

ting. Broadband

design ends constant

retuning.

The MFJ-986 is a

rugged roller inductor

antenna tuner that handles 3 KW PEP SSB

amplifier input power (1500 Watts PEP SSB

output power). Tunes 1.8-30 MHz continu-

ously, including MARS and all the WARC

bands.

MFJ’s exclusive AirCoreTM Roller

Inductor gives absolute minimum SWR --

something tapped inductors just can’t do.

3-digit turns counter plus a spinner knob

gives precise inductance control so you can

quickly retune your frequency.

Alighted peak and average reading cross-

needle meter shows SWR, forward and

reflected power at a single glance!

You get a 6-position antenna switch that

lets you select two coax lines and/or random

wires (direct or through tuner), balanced line

and external dummy load.

The MFJ TrueCurrentBalunTM for bal-

anced lines minimizes feedline radiation that

causes field pattern distortion, TVI and RF in

your shack. Ceramic feedthru insulators for

balanced lines withstand high voltages and

temperatures.

Differential-T TunerTM . . . .

A new twist on proven technology

Replacing two variable capacitors with a

single differential capacitor gives wide range

T-network tuning with just two controls -- a

tuning capacitor and a roller inductor.

Simple 2-knob tuning makes tuning easier

than ever. You get minimum SWR at only one

setting and a broadband

response that ends constant

re-tuning. You’ll spend

your time QSOing instead

of fooling with your tuner.

The compact

103/4x41/2x15 inch cabinet

has plenty of room to

mount the roller inductor

away from metal surfaces

for highest Q -- you get

high efficiency and more

power into your antenna.

Wide-spaced tuning capaci-

tor plates let you run high

power without arcing.

Lighted cross-needle meter

MFJ’s lighted Cross-Needle Meter shows

you SWR, forward and reflected power simul-

taneously. It reads peak or average power on

2000 or 200 Watt ranges.

Lamp has on/off switch and uses 12 VDC

or 110 VAC with MFJ-1312D, $14.95.

MFJ TrueCurrentBalunTM

reduces feedline radiation

Most tuners use a voltage balun that

forces equal voltages on the two antenna

halves. It minimizes unbalanced currents

only if the antenna is perfectly balanced -- not

the case with practical antennas.

The MFJ-986 uses a true current balun to

force equal currents in the two antenna halves

-- even if the antenna is not perfectly bal-

anced!

The MFJ TrueCurrentBalunTM gives supe-

rior balance over voltage baluns and mini-

mizes unbalanced current. This reduces field

pattern distortion, concentrates your power for

a stronger signal -- plus it reduces TVI and

RF in your shack caused by feedline radia-

tion. No Matter WhatTM Waranty

Protected by one year limited warranty.

bands

1.8-30

MHz -- anywhere

with any transceiver

-- using a single random wire and MFJ’s

Random Wire Tuner. Small enough to

carry in your hip pocket. Handles 200

watts output.

Matches high or low impedance loads

by interchanging input and output, so it

uses SO-239 connectors for both.

Compact 2.25H X 3.5W X 5.25D in.

MFJ’s Smallest VERSA TUNER

MFJ’s

smallest

(5x21/2x6) and most affordable 200 Watt

PEP VERSA TUNER. Match dipoles,

vees, random wires, verticals, mobile

whips, beams, balanced and coax lines con-

tinuously from 1.8-30 MHz. A 4:1 balun

for balanced lines is built into this MFJ-

901B tuner. Three adjustment controls for

maximum matching capability.

It’s not just a tuner, it’s an 8-position

antenna switch.

The photo tells the story: you can select

among two coaxial-fed antennas, a bal-

anced line (4:1 toroid balun included) or

random wire or an external dummy load,

and for each you can select “direct”

(bypassing the tuner) or “tuned.”

This tuner is rated at 200 watts and can

match dipoles, vees, random wires, and

balanced and coax feedlines, from 1.8 to 30

MHz. You get a lighted cross needle

SWR/wattmeter

with on/off

switch (lamp

uses 12 VDC or

110 VAC with MFJ-1312D,

$14.95).

The meter shows SWR, and

forward and reflected power in 300/60 and

30/6 watt ranges selected at the front panel.

An efficient 12 position airwound

inductor gives low losses for more power

out. Uses 1000 Volt capacitors.

The aluminum cabinet has a durable

scratch-proof multi-color Lexan front panel

to complement your rig and fits right into

your station.

Measures a sleek, compact

105/8Wx27/8Hx7D inches.

The MFJ-971 is a tiny, inexpensive

portable 200 watt PEP antenna tuner that’s

a perfect match for today’s ultra-compact

HF transceivers while offering features

especially designed for the QRP operator.

Covering 1.8 to 30 MHz, this T-match

tuner can match coax-fed antennas, as

well as those fed with balanced feedline,

and random wires. A 4:1 toroid balun is

built in for balanced lines.

From the factory, the MFJ-971 offers forward power

readings of 30 watts maximum or 300 watts, on its cross

needle meter. You can monitor forward power, reflected

power, and SWR simultaneously. For dedicated QRP operation,

swapping of a jumper plug internally converts the maximum for-

ward reading on the meter to 6 watts.

The meter lamp may be powered by an external 12 VDC

source if you desire (MFJ-1312D, $14.95).

The MFJ-971, while an all-around low-

power tuner, is especially suited for MFJ

transceivers and power packs. It matches them

in size and styling and brackets included with

the tuner allow connecting the units together

physically into an attractive and compact

package.

As in all good antenna tuners, three con-

trols give flexibility in matching: Inductance

(12 positions), Transmitter, and Antenna. Once you find the

proper setting on each band, just record it for future “instant

band changing.”

Rear panel includes SO-239 coaxial jacks for transmitter

and antenna; 2 sturdy binding posts for balanced line; another

binding post for a random wire; ground post; 12 VDC input jack

for meter lamp; and low/high power meter range switch.

The MFJ-971 is backed by MFJ’s No Matter WhatTM warranty.

Measures a tiny 6X6X2.5 inches.

MFJ Compact Mobile HF Antenna Tuner

The compact MFJ-945E mobile anten-

na tuner covers 6 Meters and HF (1.8- 60

MHz), handles 300 PEP watts, and tunes

coaxial cable-fed antennas, plus random

wires.

Don’t leave home without this mobile

tuner, and have a a better trip as the MFJ-

945E extends antenna bandwidth and elimi-

nates the need to stop, go outside, and read-

just your mobile antenna.

The frustratingly narrow bandwidth of

mobile antennas can be greatly broadened

with this tuner.

Of course, this diminutive tuner can be

used to tune coax-fed home station anten-

nas of all kinds, too, as well as random

wires.

The cross needle meter shows SWR,

forward, and reflected power -- at a glance.

It reads forward/reflected

power in 300/60 and 30/6

watt ranges.

The ON/ OFF lamp

switch is handy for

changing light conditions in your vehicle;

the meter lamp is 12 VDC powered (MFJ-

1312D, $14.95).

Large, conveniently-placed controls

make tuning fast and easy.

The bypass switch lets you bypass the

tuner (connecting your antenna and trans-

mitter directly) while still using its

SWR/wattmeter.

The back panel has SO-239 coaxial

connectors for your transmitter and antenna

feedline and a wing nut post for your

ground.

For at-home use with a random wire a

standard banana plug fits neatly into the

antenna jack.

An efficient airwound inductor gives

you lower losses for more watts output.

The small, 8Wx2Hx6D inch black alu-

minum cabinet takes up little space.

Amobile mounting bracket, MFJ-20, is

$4.95. Add $2.00 shipping for the bracket

if ordered separately.

MFJ . . . The World Leader in Ham Radio Accessories! 7

The MFJ-974H is a

fully balanced true bal-

anced line antenna tuner.

It gives you superb cur-

rent balance throughout

its very wide matching

and frequency range.

Johnson Matchbox

For decades, the Johnson Matchbox has

been the standard of comparison for bal-

anced line tuners. But, it had a severely

limited matching range and covered only

80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 Meters.

The MFJ-974H is its successor. It

meets today's needs and even surpasses the

Johnson Matchbox outstanding

performance.

Everything You Need

The MFJ-974H gives you excellent cur-

rent balance, very wide matching range(12-

2000 Ohms) and covers 1.8 through 54

MHz continuously including all WARC

bands, 160 Meters, 6 Meters and the new

60 Meter band. Handles 300 Watts SSB

PEP and 150 Watts CW.

Tuning is fast and easy - - just three tun-

ing controls. You can even adjust for high-

ly efficient broadband low-Q operation or

use higher Q when you encounter extreme

loads.

Alarge three-inch lighted Cross-Needle

SWR/Wattmeter lets you read SWR, peak

or average forward and reflected power all

at a glance on 300 or 30 Watt ranges.

Aground post is provided to ground one

output terminal so you can also tune ran-

dom wires and coax fed antennas.

Compact 7½Wx6Hx8D inches fits any-

where.

Tunes any Balanced Line

The MFJ-974H tunes any balanced lines

including 600 Ohm open wire line, 450/300

Ohm ladder lines, 300/72 Ohm twin lead -

- shielded or unshielded.

Superb current balance minimizes feed-

line radiation that can cause troublesome

TVI and RFI, painful RF bites, mysterious

RF feedback problems and radiation pattern

distortion.

Excellent Balance, Excellent Design

The MFJ-974H is a fully balanced wide

range T-Network using four gear driven

1000-Volt air variable capacitors and high-

Q air wound tapped inductor for 80-10

Meters and separate inductors for 6 and

160 Meters. The tuning components are

mounted symmetrically to insure electrical

balance.

A1:1 current balun is placed on the low

impedance 50 input side to convert the bal-

anced T-Network to unbalanced operation.

The balun is made of 50 ferrite beads on

RG-303 Teflon™ coax to give exceptional

and efficient isolation. It stays cool even at

maximum power.

Balanced Line = Extremely Low Loss

Balanced lines give extremely low loss.

Doublet, horizontal loop, vertical loop,

quad, double extended Zepp, Lazy H, W8JK

antennas all give efficient multi-band oper-

ation when fed with balanced lines.

6-80 Meter Balanced Line Tuner

MFJ-974, $169.95.

Same as MFJ-974H

but for 6-80 Meter

Antenna Tuner/Artificial Ground

MFJ-934 is unique because it has a

built-in artificial ground. A ground match-

ing knob lets you switch in inductance to

bring an attached wire to a low impedance

current point to form an artificial ground.

A push button lets you use the Cross-

Needle Meter to monitor for maximum

ground current. With an artificial ground

to work against, you’ll be surprised to see

how well a random wire can work.

You get a 300 Watt full featured, gen-

eral purpose antenna tuner that covers 1.8-

30 MHz. It has a two range, lighted Cross-

Needle Meter that lets you read SWR, for-

ward and reflected power all in a glance

and a 4:1 balun for balanced lines. Plus,

you get an efficient airwound inductor, spe-

cial high current/voltage 12 position induc-

tor switch and two 1000 volt air-variable

capacitors. It tunes all types of antennas

and feedlines including random wire, coax

and balanced lines. 105/8Wx31/2Hx8D in.

MFJ Artificial RF Ground

Places your rig near earth ground potential!

Create an

artificial ground

with this MFJ-931! It effectively places

your rig near actual earth ground potential

even if your rig is on the second floor or

higher with no earth ground possible!

Also, it electrically places a far away

RF ground at your rig.

How’s your RF ground? Do you have

RF “hot spots” that “bite” you when you

transmit? Do you have RF feedback that

causes your rig to quit working on some

bands? Do you have TVI/RFI that makes

your neighbors hard to live with? Do you

get weak signal reports because of extreme

ground losses or radiation pattern distortion?

These problems could be caused by

poor RF grounding, especially if your rig is

on a second floor with no ground at all.

Even if you have a good ground, a long

connection wire can ruin its effectiveness

by isolating true RF ground from your rig.

MFJ-931 Continued . . .

MFJ-931 creates an artificial ground!

It resonates a random length of wire

thrown along the floor and produces a

tuned counterpoise. This artificial ground

effectively places your rig near actual earth

ground potential with no earth ground pos-

sible. Reduces the electrical length of the

ground connection wire to virtually zero by

tuning out its reactance. MFJ-931 connects

between your rig and a random length of

wire or a connecting ground wire. It’s

tuned for maximum ground current using

the built-in RF ammeter. It covers 1.8 to

30 MHz and measures 71/2x31/2x7 inches in

an RF tight all metal cabinet.

Use it to tie your equipment to a single

earth ground to help bleed off static and

RFI and prevent RF hot spots. Use sev-

eral to form a good RF ground for ran-

dom, long wire and vertical antennas.

The ham

world has

found the

perfect

HF/VHF

antenna for

mobile/

portable operation....the Yaesu ATAS

Screwdriver Antenna....

But, you can’t use the antenna unless

you have the MFJ-1925/MFJ-1925 I2

antenna controller. MFJ made it possible

for the popular Yaesu ATAS series anten-

na to be used with other radios such as

the IC-706, TS-50 and others.

The MFJ is installed in-line between

the antenna and rig. Provides the neces-

sary voltage to move antena up or down

when controller is pressed accordingly.

MFJ-1925 I2 is specially designed for

the Icom IC-706. It’s a perfect match for

the 706 and the Yaesu screwdriver anten-

na. It has a special 706 controller cable

with 4-pin connector that mates with the

706 controller port.

When the up/down switch is pressed

on the controller, the 706 automatically

transmits in low power and turns the

antenna for low SWR. When the lowest

SWR is found, simply release the tune

switch on the MFJ controller. Now

you’re ready to operate. SWR is moni-

tored by the meter on the 706.

MFJ-1925 I2 is simple to install. No

modification to the radio or antenna is

necessary. SO-239 connectors for radio

and antenna connections. MFJ-1925 I2

has connection for 13.6 VDC power and

4-pin connector for the 706 antenna port.

MFJ's new Manually Tuned Screwdriver

Antennas let you operate all bands 80-6

Meters continuously including all WARC

bands and the new 60 Meter bands

(depends on model). It far outperforms

other HF compact antennas.

An extra long 10 foot (19” collapsed)

telescoping whip lets you really get out and

work rare DX! A 4½ foot (23” collapsed)

telescoping stainless steel whip is included

for mobile and limited space operation.

It has a highly efficient loading inductor.

For highest Q, the coil is wound with

heavy gauge wire with wide spaced turns

on a core that is mostly air.

Atuning sleeve electrically removes

turns to eliminate detrimental self-reso-

nance effects that "wander leads" cause.

The tuning sleeve is on the low impedance

side of the coil to minimize power robbing

stray capacitance and detuning hand capac-

itance effects. Tuning is smooth, easy and

sure -- the frequency stays put after you

tune it. There is no tedious back and forth

trial and error tuning procedure.

It's extremely rugged -- the whole coil

assembly is one unit and does not move. A

separate movable sleeve adjusts frequency.

A nylon-tipped thumb-screw locks sleeve.

Awing nut lets you connect a matching

capacitor or inductor for 1:1 SWR.

Standard 3/8x24 mounting hardware

is used for both the loading coil and both

whips. Use any standard 3/8x24 mount.

Works great in or out doors. Handles

200Watts PEP. Add coax, connect ground/

counterpoise and you're ready to operate.

Operate 10 bands -- 75/80, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15,

12, 10, 6 and 2 Meters with this MFJ-1798 vertical

antenna and get full size performance with no

ground or radials!

Full size performance gives high efficiency for

more power radiated. Results? Stronger signals

and more Q-5 QSOs.

Full size performance also gives you exception-

ally wide bandwidths so you can use more of your

hard earned frequencies.

Full size performance is achieved using separate

full size radiators for 2-20 Meters and highly effi-

cient end loading for 30, 40, 75/80 Meters.

Handles full 1500 watts PEP

Get very low radiation angle for exciting DX,

automatic bandswitching, omni-directional cover-

age, low SWR. Handles 1500 Watts PEP SSB.

MFJ’s unique Elevated Top FeedTM elevates the

feedpoint all the way to the top of the antenna. It

puts the maximum radiation point high up in the

clear where it does the most good -- your signal

gets out even if you’re ground mounted.

It’s easy to tune because adjusting one band has

minimum effect on the resonant frequencies of

other bands.

Self-supporting and just 20 feet tall, the MFJ-

1798 mounts easily from ground level to tower top

-- small lots, backyards, apartments, condos, roofs,

tower mounts.

Separate Full Size Radiators

Separate full size quarter wave radiators are used on 20,

17, 15, 12, 10 and 2 Meters. On 6 Meters, the 17 Meter

radiator becomes a 3/4 wave radiator.

The active radiator works as a stub to decouple every-

thing beyond it. In phase antenna current flows in

all parallel radiators.

This forms a very large equivalent radiator and

gives you incredible bandwidths.

Radiator stubs provide automatic bandswitch-

ing -- absolutely no loss due to loading coils or

traps.

End Loading

On 30, 40, 75/80 Meters, end loading -- the

most efficient form of loading -- gives you highly

efficient performance, excellent bandwidth, low

angle radiation and automatic bandswitching.

MFJ’s unique Frequency Adaptive L-

NetworkTM provides automatic impedance match-

ing for lowest SWR on these low bands.

Tuning to your favorite part of these bands is

simple and is done at the bottom of the antenna.

No Ground or Radials Needed

You don’t need a ground or radials because an

effective counterpoise that’s 12 feet across gives

you excellent ground isolation.

You can mount it from ground level to roof top

and get awesome performance.

The feedline is decoupled and isolated from the

antenna with MFJ’s exclusive AirCoreTM high

power current balun. It’s wound with TeflonR

coax and can’t saturate, no matter how high your

power.

Built to Last

Incredibly strong solid fiberglass rod and large

diameter 6063 T-6 aircraft strength aluminum tubing is in

the main structure.

Efficient high-Q coils are wound on tough low loss

fiberglass forms using highly weather resistant TeflonRcov-

ered wire.

No-rradials

Vertical

Only 12 feet high with a tiny 24 inch footprint! Mount any-

Perfect for vacations, field day, DXpeditions, camping.

Efficient end-loading, no lossy traps. Entire length always

radiating.

Full size halfwave on 2/6 Meters.

High power air-wound choke balun eliminates feedline radi-

ation.

Adjusting one band has minimum effect on others. For 40-

20-15, 10, 6, 2 Meters.

Automatic bandswitching, low radiation angle, omni-direc-

tional, handles 1500 watts PEP.

Goes together in an afternoon.

In November 1994 QST magazine, Top of the DXCC Honor

Roll member and Top 10 contester James D. Cain, K1TN, wrote

“This antenna turned out to be a good performer on all

bands...a $200 ground-independent vertical that

will get you on segments of four HF bands when

there’s room for nothing else except a small trans-

mitting loop antenna.”

AMERITRON...the world’s high power leader! 47

AL-811 . . . 600 WATTS . . . $649!

More hams use Ameritron AL-811 amplifiers than any other amplifier in the world

. . . The AL-811 has earned a worldwide reputation for legendary quality,

flawless performance, proven reliability and superb customer service . . .

Ameritron’s AL-811 linear

amplifier gives you plenty of

power to bust through QRM!

You get a quiet desktop lin-

ear that’s so compact it’ll slide

right into your operating posi-

tion -- you’ll hardly know it’s

there . . . until QRM sets in. And

you can conveniently plug it

into your nearest 120 VAC out-

let -- no special wiring needed.

You get three tough 811A

transmitting tubes, extra heavy

duty power supply, all HF band

coverage, pressurized ventilation,

tuned input, dual illuminated

meters, adjustable ALC and much

more for an incredible $649!

The First 600 Watts

makes the difference

The AL-811 gives you 600

Watts PEP output -- that’s near-

ly 2 full S-units over your bare-

foot rig. That could mean the

difference between hearing,

“You’re Q-5 armchair copy”

and “Sorry, can’t copy you, too

much QRM.”

Now you won’t have to

stand aside while the big guns

steal your DX. You’ll log some

of those stations first.

All band, all mode Coverage

AL-811 covers all HF

bands. No compromise on

WARC and most MARS bands

-- you get a 100% rated output.

Operate AL-811 on all

modes. Get 600 Watts output

PEP SSB and 500 Watts output

CW. You even get 300 Watts

on continuous carrier modes

like RTTY, SSTV, and FM.

The low cost 811A tubes

resists failure because . . .

First, they’re constructed with

widely spaced elements that

minimize the chance of ele-

ments touching and causing a

short -- even if the plate gets

hot enough to melt.

Second,

they use a

directly

heated tho-

riated tungsten filament cathode

that prevents the electron emit-

ting layer from instantly strip-

ping off -- even if mistuning

causes a sudden, severe current

overload.

The Ameritron AL-811 is

excellent for the newcomer

because it’s tough enough to

withstand momentary mistun-

ing. And the tubes are so inex-

pensive that you can replace

one for mere pocket change.

Extra heavy duty power supply

gives you peak performance

year after year

The heart of the AL-811

power supply is its heavy duty

power transformer with a high

silicon steel core weighing a

hefty 17 pounds.

Afull wave bridge using

67.5 mfd of total capacitance

(four 270 ufd, 450 volt capaci-

tors) produces 1500 Volts

under full load and 1700 Volts

no load. That’s excellent high

voltage regulation!

Rectifier diodes are rated

for a massive surge current of

200 amps-- won’t blow even if

you accidentally short the high

voltage supply.

Wire wound, 7 Watt, 50 K

Ohm equalizing resistors safe-

ly protect each filter capacitor

-- not 2 Watt, 100 K Ohm car-

bon composition resistors that

can open and cause filter

capacitors to explode or fail.

Ameritron’s AL-811 power

supply is built tough so you get

peak performance year after

year.

Tuned input provides

excellent load for any rig

APi-Network tuned input

provides a 50 Ohm load for

your rig. Even fussy solid state

rigs can deliver their full drive

to the AL-811.

Low loss slug tuned coils --

tunable from the rear panel --

let you optimize performance.

High quality low drift silver

mica capacitors maintain proper

tuning. Output tank:

Optimum Q on each band

The low loss pi-network

output tank has been carefully

designed for optimum Q on

each band and built with top

quality RF components.

The result is peak perform-

ance over each band, wide

impedance matching range and

exceptionally smooth tuning

with efficiencies close to 70%.

Even a 3:1 SWR load won’t

damage tubes/tank components.

Aball bearing vernier

reduction drive makes plate

tuning safe, precise and easy.

Aquiet blower pressurizes

the cabinet with a large volume

of air flow. It keeps the 811A

tube temperature well below the

tube manufacturer’s rating --

even with a key down carrier at

400 Watts output -- without the

overwhelming noise of over-

sized fans.

Two illuminated meters

give you a clear picture of your

AL-811 operating conditions so

you can tell right away if some-

thing is wrong.

The Grid Current meter

continuously checks for

improper loading. The other

meter switches be-tween high

voltage and plate current to

warn of abnormal conditions.

Exclusive Adapt-A-VoltTM power

transformer

Too high of line voltage

stresses components and causes

them to wear out and fail. Too

low line voltage causes a “soft

tube” effect -- low output and

signal distortion.

Ameritron’s exclusive

Adapt-A-VoltTM power trans-

former has a special buck-boost

winding that lets you compen-

sate for stressful high line volt-

age and performance robbing

low line voltage. Your compo-

nents last longer and gives you

peak performance -- regardless

of your line voltage.

Plus much, much more . . .

An Operate/Standby switch

lets you run barefoot, but you

can in-stantly switch to full

power if needed. A transmit

LED tells you when your rig is

keying your AL-811. A 12

VDC keying relay makes it

compatible with all solid state

and tube rigs.

Back-pulse cancelling diode

protects the rig keying circuit.

Shielded RF compartment.

One year limited warranty.

dreds of watts wasted as heat.

You get a full kilowatt PEP output

from a whisper quiet desktop linear. It’s

a compact 81/2Hx14Dx151/2inches and

plugs into your nearest 120 VAC outlet.

Covers all bands 160-15 Meters, including

WARC and MARS (10/12 Meters modifiable;

FCC license required).

You get 800 watts output on CW, 500 watts

output on RTTY, an extra heavy duty power

supply, genuine 3-500 tube, nearly 70% effi-

ciency, tuned input, Pi/Pi-L output, inrush cur-

rent protection, multi-voltage transformer, dual

cross-needle meters, QSK compatability, two-

year warranty, made in the USA, plus much

more!

Dynamic ALCTM doubles average SSB power

The AL-80B’s exclusive Dynamic ALCTM

gives you high-level low-distortion RF pro-

cessing. It can more than double your average

SSB power for up to 6 dB improvement in

intelligibility, maximizing talk power without

distortion/splatter.

Aconvenient front panel control lets you

adjust output power level.

The AL-80B’s exclusive Instantaneous RF

BiasTM turns off the classic 3-500 tube (except

filaments) between words and dots and dashes,

elininating hundreds of watts wasted as heat

for cooler operation and longer component life.

The guts of the AL-80B is its heavy duty

power supply. A 26 pound transformer using a

high silicone steel core, computer grade capac-

itors, heavy duty bleeders and ten 3 amp, 1000

volt power rectifiers give you a stiff 2700 volts

fully loaded. Many amps using two 3-500s use

such small power supplies they don’t deliver

much more power output than the AL-80B.

The AL-80B is built on a rugged steel

chassis with a separate fully-shielded RF com-

partment to minimize RFI and TVI.

Awhisper quiet internal fan draws in cool

air over power supply components and pressur-

izes the classic 3-500 tube compartment to

remove heat for longest life.

Tuned input lets your rig deliver full output

50 Ohm broadband Pi-Network tuned input

is used. Even fussy solid state transmitters

will deliver full power!

Acarefully designed Pi/Pi-L output net-

work using the optimum Q for each band gives

exceptionally smooth tuning, extremely

wide matching range, full band coverage,

and peak performance at all power lev-

els.

Step-Start Inrush ProtectionTM stops

damaging inrush current with a start up

sequence that’s easy on your tube and

power supply components.

Our exclusive Multi-Voltage Power

TransformerTM lets you optimize for 14

different primary line voltages. The high

voltage secondary can be wired to reduce

plate voltage for efficient operation below

400 watts for use outside the USA.

AMERITRON’s dual illuminated

cross-needle meters give you four sepa-

rate meters to monitor your operating condi-

tions -- you can tell right away if something is

wrong. Grid and plate current and forward out-

put power are monitored for improper loading

and abnormal conditions.

The fourth meter can be switched to moni-

tor your 3-500 tube DC plate voltage, reflected

PEP power, antenna system SWR, ALC volt-

age to your rig, and the grid current that starts

Feel the need for maximum legal

HF output power? AMERITRON’s

AL-1500 will give it to you.

Using the Herculean

3CX1500A/8877 ceramic tube with its high

power gain, the AL-1500 needs only 65 watts

of drive from your exciter to deliver the goods-

- transceivers and other exciters just loaf at

1500 watts out.

Cool, efficient operation is provided by a

forced-air system with tube chimney, using a

commercial grade die-cast ball bearing blower

for maximum tube life. The tube is further pro-

tected by time delay starting and automatic

over-current shutoff to remove drive power if

the amplifier is mis-tuned.

You get full legal power output from a

whisper quiet desktop linear. Measures 181/2D

x17Wx10H inches, and covers all bands, 160-

15 Meters, including WARC and MARS (80%

of full output set to nearest amateur band).

10/12 Meters modifiable.

You get 1500 watts output (1/2 hour

continuous carrier) and 2500 watts (30

second continuous carrier and 2500

watts- plus 30 minute PEP two-tone test).

You get all this power, plus, 65% effi-

ciency, pi-network tuned input, Pi/Pi-L

output, inrush current protection, multi-

voltage transformer, QSK compatability,

and a one-year warranty.

The guts of the AL-1500 is its heavy

duty power supply, with a 32 lb. Peter

Dahl Hypersil(R) transformer using a high

silicone steel core, computer grade

capacitors (33 mfd total), heavy duty

bleeders and twenty 3 amp, 1000 volt

power rectifiers give you a stiff 3300

volts fully loaded.

The AL-1500 is built on a rugged steel

chassis with a separate RF compartment fully

shielded to keep RF from leaking out, keeping

RFI and TVI to a minimum.

Superb RF design and layout, Hi-Q tank

circuit and commercially rated RF power com-

ponents give you 65% plate efficiency over the

entire operating range. Power goes into the

antenna instead of into heat.

50-ohm broadband Pi-Network tuned input

with slug-tuned coils is used. Even fussy solid

state transmitters will deliver full power!

Acarefully designed Pi/Pi-L output net-

work using the optimum Q for each band with

vernier ball drives gives smooth tuning, wide

matching range, full band coverage, and peak

performance at all power levels.

The AL-1500’s grid overload circuit pro-

tects the tube from excessive grid current; if

175 mA of peak gric current is reached, the

“OPR” LED will no longer light and the

amplifier will go into a bypass condition until

reset by the operator.

Transformer provides many options

Since excessive line voltage stresses com-

ponents (low line voltage causes a “soft tube”

effect, for example), Ameritron’s exclusive

Multi-Voltage Power TransformerTM lets you

optimize for different line voltages. Select from

4 different primary voltage ranges, from 205-

219 VAC to 252 to 265 VAC. The amplifier

comes wired from the factory for 240 VAC.

The AL-1500 has two illuminated panel

meters. The Grid Current meter provides con-

tinuous reading of the critical grid current and

indicates proper and safe amplifier operation.

The other meter can be selected to read

Plate Voltage, Plate Current, Peak RF Watts,

or ALC. A SSB/CW selector switch chooses

bias voltage for best linearity on SSB or lowest

dissipation on CW.

The Operate/Standby switch, in Standby,

maintains the tube’s filament and plate volt-

ages while allowing “barefoot” operation.

Other features include a 12 volt DC auxil-

iary jack and an “XMT” LED to provide indi-

cation of proper amplifier keying by the

exciter. Power required: 240 VAC, 15 amps.

Frequency coverage: 1.8, 3.5, 7, 14, 21

MHz and Warc Bands. User-modifiable for 28

AMERITRON AL-1200 Boasts Full Legal Power with Rugged 3CX1200A7

Classic 3-500 Tubes Deliver Full Legal Power in AMERITRON AL-82

This classic AL-82 linear gives you full

legal output using a pair of 3-500s. Examine

the features and component ratings of the AL-

82 and compare it to any competing amplifier

using two 3-500Zs.

Most can’t give you 1500 watts because

their lightweight power supplies can’t use

these tubes to their full potential. Our AL-82

amplifier has the same power supply as the

AL-1500 and AL-1200 -- powerful stuff!

The Ameritron AL-82 linear ampli-

fier is designed to give you years of

trouble free service at the full legal out-

put power limit.

A32-pound, 1800 watt continuous com-

mercial rated tape-wound Peter Dahl

Hypersil(R) transformer is standard with heavy

duty rectifiers in a full wave bridge supply

with computer capacitors. Two bias settings

allow either high efficiency RTTY and CW

operation at 1500 watts of output at nearly

70% plate efficiency or low distortion 1500

watts PEP, SSB or SSTV output.

Silver plated tank components provide

high efficiency operation above 20 meters.

The Pi-L tank circuit permits full impedance

matching capability over the entire 160 meter

band. The Pi-L/PI output tuning capacitors

and bandswitch have a 35% safety factor to

virtually eliminate tank circuit component

failures.

The cooling system keeps the components

and tube safely below the manufacturer's rat-

ings, even while operating at 1500 watts out-

put with a steady carrier. The filament supply

has inrush current limiting to insure maxi-

mum tube life. Shielding and by-passing help

prevent TVI and RFI.

The AL-82 has two illuminated meters;

Grid Current reads the 3-500Z grid current.

This is an Ameritron first. A multi-meter dis-

plays plate voltage, plate current, peak R.F.

output power and drive power/ALC detector

What makes the AL-1200

stand out from other legal limit

amplifiers? The answer: a

super heavy duty power supply

that loafs at full legal power

and can deliver more than 2500

watts PEP two-tone output for

a half hour, the same power

supply as in our AL-1500

amplifier. The heart of the AL-

1200 power supply is a highly efficient Peter Dahl

tape wound Hypersil(R) transformer weighing 32 lbs.

And now ham radio’s toughest tube, the EimacR

3CX1200A7, is in ham radio’s toughest amplifier! It

has a 50 Watt control grid dissipation. The 3CX1200A7 has the lowest

quantity history of field replacement of any modern transmitting tube

that we use. It has the ruggedness and power handling of ceramic tubes

with the long-life of thoriated tungsten filaments.

You get genuine high current, computer-grade capacitors with

screw-on terminals. The AL-1200 rectifier board uses diodes rated for

a massive surge current of 200 amps -- you can accidentally short the

high voltage supply and the diodes won't blow! Will another amplifier

you're considering withstand a direct power supply short?

The AL-1200 also gives you all mode, all band coverage, includ-

ing WARC and MARS, Pi-network tuned input, Step-Start Inrush

Protection, multi-voltage power transformer primary, and a Pi-L output

tank curcuit with silver plated components.

Other features include: a separate filament transformer eliminates

poor regulation and surges; adjustable ALC; SSB/CW switch for best

linearity and efficiency; operate/standby switch; transmit indicator

LED; 12 VDC auxiliary output; 35% safety factor for tuning capacitors

and bandswitching virtually eliminates failures.

Ashielded RF compartment; quiet die cast blower with 3 speeds;

two illuminated meters show continuous grid current, peak RF watts

out, drive power/ALC, plate voltage and plate current; ball bearing

vernier reduction drives on plate and load controls; optional QSK

board, one year limited warranty; and much more.

No tuning, no fuss, no worries -- just

turn on and operate. AMERITRON’s revo-

lutionary ALS-600 includes a 120/220 VAC

power supply, 600 watts output, continuous

1.5-22 MHz coverage, instant bandswitch-

ing, no warm up, no tubes to baby, fully

SWR protected, extremely quiet, compact.

This is amateur radio's only linear

amplifier that uses four rugged TMOS RF

power FETs, giving unequaled no-tune

solid state performance.

Output power is 600 watts PEP SSB

and 500 watts CW

Upgradable to include 12/10 Meters

with easy-to-install optional kit, ($29.95

plus s/h). FCC license required.

SWR protection prevents amplifier

damage if you switch to a wrong band, use

wrong antenna, or have high SWR.

Over-power protection looks for exces-

sive output forward power or reflected

power and automatically reduces output

power to prevent amplifier damage, by

controlling ALC to exciter.

This little powerhouse is unobtrusive;

its low speed, low volume fan

is so quiet you'll hardly know

it's there, unlike noisy blowers

used in other amps.

At just 6 x 9-1/2 x 12 inches, the ALS-

600 may take up less desktop space than

your transceiver, and it weighs just 12.5

pounds.

The illuminated cross-needle

SWR/wattmeter reads SWR and forward

and reflected peak power simultaneously.

The Operate/Standby switch lets you

run "barefoot" but instantly switch to full

power if you need it.

With the AMERITRON exclusive front

panel ALC control you can adjust your out-

put power.

LED indicators for Transmit, ALC, and

SWR keep you informed and the rear panel

12 VDC output jack lets you power low

current accessories.

The separate ALS-600PS power supply

unit (included) can be placed conveniently

out of the way and plugged into your near-

est 120 VAC outlet. Ameritron's exclusive

Multi-Voltage Power

Transformer lets you

compensate for

stressful high line

voltage and perform-

ance-robbing low

line voltage, while Step Start Inrush

Protection stops damaging inrush currents

and extends life of power supply compo-

nents. The illuminated cross-needle meter

reads voltage and current of 50 VDC line.

Includes prewired cable to plug in to

ALS-600 amplifier.

Higher power from

Ameritron ALS-500M is a

no tune, solid state ampli-

fier made for on-the-road

use. Get 500 watts PEP SSB output or 400

watts on CW from its four rugged 2SC2879

high power linear RF power transistors.

Uses 13 VDC at 25A.

It has instant bandswitching, of course,

no tuning, no warm up -- just turn on and

operate -- makes mobile QSOs safer.

Less than 100 watts input for full out-

put.At just 3 1/2 x 9 x 15 Inches this amp

fits in nearly any mobile installation; it

weighs only 7 pounds. It’s very quiet; the

low speed, low volume fan stays off until

the temperature rises.

Continuous coverage is from 1.5 to 22

MHz and extendable to 10 and 12 Meters

with an easy to install optional kit.

Load Fault Protection (with an LED

indicator) disables and bypasses the ampli-

fier if your antenna has excessively high

reflected power or if bandswitching is set

lower than exciter frequency, virtually

eliminating damage from operating error.

Thermal Overload Protection (with

LED indicator) disables and bypasses the

amplifier if temperature is excessively

high; it automatically resets when tempera-

ture drops to a safe level.

There’s excellent harmonic suppression,

with a multiple section output network,

push-pull output circuit, and the DC current

meter lets you monitor collector current.

The ON/OFF switch bypasses the

amplifier for "barefoot" operation without

having to disconnect high current power

supply cables.

AMERITRON's

SDA-100 may be

the best built, best

looking, best per-

forming HF mobile

screwdriver anten-

na in the world!

When properly

installed on your

vehicle this antenna

provides coverage

from 80 through 10

Meters with a 6

foot whip. Remove the whip for 40 Meters

through 6 Meter coverage.

What makes our antennas stand above

all the rest is that our CNC machined com-

ponents are from aircraft aluminum or

stainless steel and blueprinted, meaning

you can take antennas apart and mix them

up, then reassemble and they all work the

same.

Our fiberglass coil form is approximate-

ly 2 inches in diameter. Other antenna

builders know fiberglass is better but they

choose not to use it because of the expense

and difficulty in machining. We use 14

gauge wire for high power capability,

wound at eight turns an inch for maximum

efficiency. We machine groove our coils so

they will not loosen up or jam -- they won't

wear out, for years of trouble free service!

The decoupler we use is CNC machined

for tight tolerances with custom fingerstock

designed to contact 3 turns of coil all the

time with over 25 pounds of combined con-

tact pressure. With this design you can run

up to 1.2 kilowatts PEP, trouble free. It's so

superior to anything else on the market that

we put our outstanding AMERITRON war-

ranty behind it.

We use a new heavy duty Pittman com-

mercial 12 volt gear motor, which is very

durable and quiet while receive tuning.

This motor is super heavy duty for years of

trouble-free service. Antennas come with

the sensors already installed so if you

decide to add an auto controller now or

later, everything is ready.

The AMERITRON SDA-100 includes:

Up/Down switch; 5 feet of motor DC

cable with detachable weather sealed con-

nector; decoupling toroid matching coils.

The SDA-100 comes in a handsome

black finish, using the Dupont

Basecoat/Clearcoat system.

AMERITRON RCS-10 Remote Coax Switch

Ameritron RCS-4 is a remote

controlled coax switch that selects

1 of 4 outputs by supplying all

control voltages through the coax.

Elimination of control cables gives you a fast, neat

and inexpensive installation -- only 1 coax line for 4

antennas.

You get two units -- the switching box

(53/8Dx7Wx3H in.) that can be tower, mast or wall

mounted and the control console (61/8Dx51/4Wx 33/8H

in.) that is located at your operating station.

The attractive indoor console has bright LED

antenna selector indicators. A steel enclosure pro-

vides 100% shielding to prevent RFI and TVI.

Switching time is 50 milliseconds. Teflon(R) SO-239

connectors provide reliable connections.

The weatherproof switching box uses three heavy

duty 16 ampere hermetically sealed relays on a

rugged G-10 fiberglass circuit board.

Quality components are used throughout the

entire unit to ensure maximum life for the some-

times difficult-to-reach switching box. RCS-4 oper-

ates 120 VAC. RCS-4X for 220/240 VAC. RCS-4

allows safe operation with 14 Volts control voltage.

Frequencies 1.5 - 100 MHz are covered by this

excellent station accessory. Handles over 2.5 kW.

Specifications: 4 pos.; Loss at 30 MHz less than

0.1 dB; VSWR is under 1.25:1, 1.5-60 MHz;

Impedance: 50 Ohms; Power: >2.5 kW average

continuous.

Ameritron’s RCS-

10 remote coax switch

selects one of eight

antennas using an

inexpensive three or

four conductor control line (such as

standard telephone wire).

New! RCS-10L, $199. Same as

RCS-10, but has lightning protec-

tion for all coaxial inputs.

Eliminate a tangle of trouble-

some coax and have a simple and

neat installation -- with just a single

coax feedline. RCS-10 consists of

2 units -- the weatherproof switch

box that mounts on your tower or

mast and the control unit that’s placed at your operating station.

Outdoor Unit Features:

Inexpensive and simple wiring: selects up to eight antennas

using one four conductor telephone type control line.

High Power Capability: The RCS-10 relay box will handle

over 5 kW into matched loads below 30 MHz.

Long Relay Life: UL/CSA/VDE approved sealed relays with

16A switching current rating. Tested to withstand 1200V RMS.

Flexible Mounting: RCS-10 hardware accepts mast sizes from 1

inch to 21/4inches. Reliable Connectors: Teflon UHF-style SO-

239 females, internal barrier strip for control lines. Low Voltage:

Requires 10-15 Volts at less than 300 mA. Number of Antenna

Positions: 8. Frequency Coverage: DC to 100 MHz. VSWR:

Under 1.25:1 below 30 MHz; Under 1.3:1 below 60 MHz; Under

1.8:1 below 150 MHz. Impedance: 50 Ohms. Power

Capability: >5 kW into 50 Ohms below 30 MHz. Power

Requirement: RCS-10, 10-15 VDC or 120 VAC with AC adaptor

supplied. RCS-10X, 10-15 VDC or 230 VAC with AC adaptor

supplied. Relay Switch Control Line: 4 conductors telephone-

type cable, not supplied. Relay Control Line Voltage: 10-15

VDC at less than 300 mA. Flexible Control Box with External

Interface: Accepts and outputs one-of-eight and outputs three-line

BCD data to remote relay unit. Highly Weather Resistant:

Sealed relays, stainless hardware, and U-V resistant cover. Easy-

to-Read Antenna Indicators: Eight wide-spaced LED’s indicate

the selected antenna. Dimension: Control: 61/4Wx31/4Hx45/8D in.

The MFJ-993

IntelliTunerTM lets you

tune any antenna automatically balanced

or unbalanced - - ultra fast.

It’s a comprehensive automatic antenna

tuning center complete with SWR/Watt-

meter, antenna switch for two antennas and

4:1 current balun for balanced lines.

MFJs exclusive IntelliTunerTM, Adaptive

SearchTM and InstantRecallTM algorithms

give you ultra fast automatic tuning with

over 2000 non-volatile revolving memories.

You get a highly efficient L-network,

wide 6-1600 ohm matching at full 300

Watts SSB/150 Watts CW, 1.8-30 MHz

coverage, Cross-Needle and digital meters,

aural SWR meter, backlit LCD display,

remote control port, radio interface, heavy-

duty 16 amp/1000 volt relays and more.

It learns while you’re having fun

As you’re ragchewing, contesting or

DXing, your MFJ-993 is learning!

When you transmit, the MFJ-993 auto-

matically tunes for minimum SWR and

remembers your frequency and tuner set-

tings. The next time you operate on that

frequency and antenna, these tuner settings

are instantly restored and you’re ready to

operate in milliseconds!

Each of two antennas can learn and

remember over a thousand frequencies and

tuner settings. They are safely stored in

non-volatile revolving memory.

Highly Intelligent ultra fast tuning

MFJs InstantRecallTM first checks its

memory to see if you have operated this

frequency before. If so, tuning is instanta-

neous and you re ready to operate.

If not, MFJs IntelliTunerTM algorithm - -

based on MFJ s famous SWR Analyzer

technology - - kicks in. It measures the

complex impedance of your antenna. Next,

it calculates the components it needs and

instantly snaps them in. Then, it fine tunes

to minimize SWR -- you’re ready to oper-

ate. It’s all done in a fraction of a second.

When the impedance is within its meas-

urement range, the MFJ-993 is the fastest

automatic antenna tuner in the world.

If it can’t accurately determine imped-

ance, MFJ’s AdaptiveSearchTM algorithm

goes into action. Frequency is measured

and relevant components values are deter-

mined. Only those values are searched for

ultra-fast tuning.

For even faster searches, you can set the

target SWR to 2 (settable 1.0-2.0).

You can manually tune when you can’t

transmit (for listening out of ham bands).

Cross Needle and Digital

SWR/Watt Meters

Lighted Cross-Needle and digital meters

lets you accurately read SWR, forward and

reflected power at a glance.

An aural SWR meter lets you hear the

tuned SWR when you can’t see or read the

meters.

Turn on a highly visible, instant response

SWR LCD bargraph when you need it.

Backlit LCD Display

An easy-to-read backlit LCD displays

SWR, forward/reflected power, frequency,

antenna 1/2, L/C tuner values, on/off indi-

cators and other information.

Remote Control Port

Plug in the MFJ-990RC, $39.95, remote

control and put your tuner at your antenna

or elsewhere and control it remotely.

The MFJ-993 supports radio tuner inter-

faces such as the ICOM 706 series.

Interface cables are available.

The MFJ-993 is a compact 10Wx2¾

Hx9D inches. Use 12 –15 VDC/1 amp or

110 VAC with MFJ-1316, $19.95.

Tune any Antenna

You can tune any antenna — dipoles,

verticals, beams, phased arrays, inverted

vees, quads, random wires, mobile anten-

nas, compact limited space antennas –

practically any antenna.

A4:1 true current balun lets you tune

any balanced antenna - - horizontal loops,

vertical loops, multi-band doublets, quads,

folded dipoles, Zepps.
