very good explanation, Can you please enlighten me to the following question: in my case at the moment I have 2 antenna One vertical + One G5RV while now I am using the Alpha delta-2 switch box and currently connected to a manual MFJ 962e afterwards with the MFJ 998 auto if I want it to memorize settings for both antenna I have to remove both antennas from the switch box correct? No need for it! and obviously connect directly both antenna to the MFJ 998? And from the MFJ 998 I would select the antenna I want to work with Correct in this way each time I use one or the other the MFJ 998 is storing the settings in memory?

Did the control cable work? I have the Kenwood Tx-809s and am ordering the same tuner and it doesn’t list your 909 or my 809 as the correct cable

Hope you enjoy new tuner.

So Pascal , do you still use the MFJ 988 or did you get something else?

[@modex20]

Imagine all that SWR loss on the coax between the antenna and the “tuner”

[@africantwin173]

Do a power wattage test. Meassure the input power and then output wattage.

[@stevenlawhon3695]

Make sure the tuner covers all the bands you operate

[@Laboenligne]

Hi Brent, This is true as it doesn’t have 6 meter. 73

Most Famous Junk... As you have infinite amount of money, ask Santa for a Palstar and you'll be very happy to compare what's build quality means. 72.

[@Laboenligne]
