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

Tuner works well. Able to easily tune my Dipole in with it. Housing is well made and controls are simple. Its nice having the dummy load built in and a two antenna hookups. Great tuner for the money.

Like quality and looks but most important it tunes almost all antennas Bravo.

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.

works excellent....thank you amazon..

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

Good quality workmanship. Worked just as expected.

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.

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.

Works great easy to use.
