MFJ Enterprises Original MFJ-945E 1.6~60 MHz Mobile Antenna Tuner w/Watt Meter & Antenna Bypass Switch. 300 Watts

This is a great tuner and works well with a NanoVNA allowing me to set SWR to 1:1 on my preferred group of channels. It arrived sooner than projected. The reason i am giving a 3 star is because the device i received didnt appear to be new as there is a screw missing from the bottom which holds the now loose side panel in place and it isnt in the packaging.

Works perfectly on a wide range of antennas. Always get a good 1.5 SWR or lower.

Call me crazy but I like this manual tuner, I like rotating the knobs and seeing the tuning results with the needle. I also perform this process with a new-fangled Nano-VNA, which shows a nice plot of the VSWR as Im tuning, and its a good way to see whats really going on. This model works nicely on 6 meters also.

Tunes me up great!

The MFJ-949E is my first antenna tuner to be used. The cabinet passed the ole shack test which is a good sign. I am looking forward to using this item and expect a learning curve and alot of help from YOU TUBE videoes.

I had this in the 90s when I was into CB Radio. It worked beautifully, but it didnt have the bypass switch then. With this and my RCI2950 radio I got all kinds of contacts. I had a full wave square copper loop antenna I built for about $50, which was 8 feet or so on a side. The MFJ tuner helped me fine tune the antenna, and I worked all up and down the east coast, into Canada, and even made a few contacts in Europe, all on 8 watts. So its not just for Hams, if you have a CB and want to talk long distance, this tuner will help you out. Now that Im getting my Tech and General license for Amateur Radio, Ill be buying another one, because I sold my original a long time ago.

Works ok, controls are twitchy

This tiny tuner works great. It is easy to use and is very accurate I dont use it in my vehicle but if you are tight for space in your home station as I am, this tuner is for you. It has a very small footprint and I really like it. You cant go wrong with the MFJ-945E Antenna Tuner.

Was disappointed that no instruction manual came with it and requested I go on line and down load one, I tried it but found all down loads sites for manual was either a rip off or too much to deal with , I did find one short instruction pdf that I copied and past then printed it. But not complete manual.

This excellent tuner antenna with its maximum 300 w and the ease of obtaining a low srw with easy to use controls. Its small size and low weight make it easy to move and connect to a base or mobile station.
