MFJ-941E MFJ941E MFJ Enterprises Original HF Antenna Tuner with Mini Cross Meter, 300 Watts

A VERY POPULAR TUNER WITH HAMS. MAX WATTAGE IS 300W AND KNOBS CAN BE A BIT TOUGH. GREAT FOR STANDARD WATTAGE RIGH (100) AND QRP.

a good basic antenna tuner.

Versatile tuner can work with any antenna. Does not need external power (unless you want the adapter for the light) A little over ten inches wide and 3 inches high. Has selector for two coax antennas and can be switched to tuned or bypass. also has connection for external dummy load. I needed to download and print the instructions from the MFJ website at www.mfjenterprises.com/manuals

Item shipped and arrived as scheduled, but product was defective and I have returned it for refund. Bought it to replace an MFJ-949 tuner than died (balun burned up). New, defective tuner would not tune existing antenna on any bands. Adjustments of inductor nor either capacitor had any effect on any band. Either the built-in SWR meter is bad or, more likely, the tuner itself.

After reading about issues with the inductor selector switch, that was the first thing I checked. Mine operates smoothly with positive detents. The antenna selector isnt as smooth. The meter backlight on the tuner I received is a nice white LED. It shows very nicely using a 5 volt power source and is really makes the meters easy to read at 12 volts. 80 through 10 meters tune nicely on my short compromise wire antenna. 10 meters is VERY sharp....patience is called for, but it will tune! My antenna is too short to get anywhere near a decent match on 160 meters. Overall, I really like this tuner so far.

Pros: Very effective antenna system tuning- gets me 1.1:1 on every frequency and radio. Decent quality- not top of the line, but good Accurate, calibrated meters Cons: Meters are simply too small and graduations are very silly, making readability challenging 12v lamp for meter is horribly yellow and dated looking. I immediately changed mine out in favor of a diffused white LED. Switches are stiff and do not have a positive click. Not a big deal but radio still receives when changing to coax 2, dummy load, etc- should have better isolation at this price. Overall a good value that serves 3 purposes well. Simply increasing the height and size of the meter would be the obvious manufacturing improvement that would make this the perfect product.

like the ease of operation dislike the small cross needle meter. all in all a good tool at a fair price

easy to use and works as described. tnz NoQES

accurate

Good product, I use it to tune multiband antennas
