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 far so good, 73 Pascal VA2PV

So Pascal , do you still use the MFJ 988 or did you get something else?
Imagine all that SWR loss on the coax between the antenna and the “tuner”
Do a power wattage test. Meassure the input power and then output wattage.
Make sure the tuner covers all the bands you operate
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.
Well so far so good on my side, will see over time. 73 Pascal VA2PV.
I had one and sold it, wish I had hadn't.
