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

Switch or wiring error prevented the built-in 50 ohm dummy load from operating. Other than that, it appeared to be a well-built manual tuner. I eventually decided to go with a automatic tuner, the FT-989Y. The 989Y works seamlessly with my FT-891.

Worked it on 11 meters, and it cut my modulation down 75%, and when I got to 20% of my radios power, which is 30 watts, it drove my Swr sky high. Could not get it below 2.5 unless I used 20% of my radios power. Had my neighbor that has the same unit come down with his, and his work fine. Im going to apply for a refund.

Tuve otro igual hace 20 años y volví al mismo ahora, es de lo mejor .

Works great easy to use.

I bought it to use with a MFJ multiband HF vertical antenna. Info said it will match any antenna. WRONG! I got a 1.1 to 1 SWR on 15 meters, alll other bands were infinite or almost infinite. However I feel the tuner is good, I think the antenna is junk. I also have a MFJ 949C (slightly older) and it works in pretty close agreement with the MFJ 949E. Im gonna junk the MFJ vertical and put up a G5RV. Im sure tuner will work with it.

MFJ has no pre-shipment testing and poor QA inspection. Mine had capacitor plates rubbing together making it not usable. After opening the unit, doing a visual inspection, correcting the problem, it worked fine. No one should have to repair a product at this price point! If you choose to purchase this device, please inspect it before putting your expensive transmitter in jeoparty!

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