Just won an MFJ-949C on eBay for $100.00. Since they sell for $170.00 new, I guess I did alright.
I wasn't real impressed with the Kenwood AT-130 tuner, it's very limited in what it can do, and I'm not even sure it was doing anything at all...
With the MFJ I'll have the option of attaching both my dipoles, and if I have trouble getting the 40m antenna to tune up for 80m, I'll have the ability to change the feed line to 400 ohm ladder line.
The one thing this tuner has over the AT-130 is a much better SWR meter, plus a watt meter, the dinky little meter on the AT-130 leaves way too much doubt in my mind as to wether it's working properly....or at all.....
Does anyone else here use a 949C Versa Tuner II....?
How's it work for you......?
any tricks or special things I may need to know.....?
