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

Good quality workmanship. Worked just as expected.

Tuve otro igual hace 20 años y volví al mismo ahora, es de lo mejor .

Excellent tuner N7BSH

This model is probably the most popular tuner for the ham radio guys and cbers ever made.

Bought as a gift

Switch or wiring error prevented the built-in 50 ohm dummy load from operating. Other than that, it appeared to be a well-built manual tuner. I eventually decided to go with a automatic tuner, the FT-989Y. The 989Y works seamlessly with my FT-891.

Excelente alcance y funcionamiento, me encanta la versatilidad de este producto.

Works great I use it on 11 meter Im very happy with it thanks

I received my tuner promptly, it was well packed and didnt have any shipping damage. Pleased with the overall transaction. My order was fulfilled by GigaParts and they shipped promptly. The actual item, however, is in dire need of improved quality control from the manufacturer. MFJ has a spotty reputation and its pretty clear that they are challenged in striking the balance between quality and low prices. Id rather they spend a little more on the QC process even if it means charging a bit more for the products. As I said, my unit arrived entirely unscathed by any of the shipping it had endured prior to reaching me. When I opened the box containing the tuner, all looked to be in fine condition. That became a different story when I hooked it up to a rig though. I found that the tuner couldnt tune a match (3:1 VSWR was its best) to either its own internal or to an external 50 ohm dummy load. Using the bypass function to the external dummy load, the match was 1:1. Investigating further by looking inside the unit, I found that the variable capacitor for the antenna side of the T had its blades bent, shorting each one to its partner through the entire arc of rotation. There is no way that this unit passed any sort of quality control before it left MFJ, given the fact that there was no physical damage to the shipping box, the unit box or the unit itself. Since Ive opened the unit to investigate this failure, Ive voided the warranty. Ill either repair the capacitor or replace it. Overall, these are not bad units, but, please be sure to give them a good examination before putting them into actual use.
