New to all this, just got started as a ham, late start in life, Great
intro, just what I needed, Off subject though but which MFJ Tunner has the
capability of remembring your setting for the antenna so you don’t have to
go through this each time, If you do have to do this each time, thank you
again
Very good video with good practical use and examples. Sometimes you just
have less than optimal antenna conditions, unfortunately, and antenna
tuners help and can make the difference from no transmitting to
transmitting.Thank you for your very clear video.
jeeze… just when I think I am finally getting a grip on this I hear you say
you CUT your antenna for a certain frequency… ZOOM right over my head… I
will watch more videos to understand this subject better… but i wonder if
you could cut it for the highest frequency and tune it DOWN to the others
with your tuner.? I live in a neighbor hood that will not LOVE me sticking
a ton of antennas on my house (unless I can figure out a way to make them
pretty) lol… i will watch the rest of your videos and I will probably buy
the tuner you are demoing since it appeared pretty straight-forward.
thanks
Hi, I have an MFJ antenna tuner, but was not sure how to use it until I
saw this video–very helpful. I have a Di–Pole for 20mtres made with 2 mag
mount antennas joined with a centre connector,without the magnets.It works
fine,but now I can check it.It is on a pole 20ft high near trees. About 1ft
below it on the same pole I have put up another Di-pole for 80Mtres.Can you
tell me if it will affect
the operation of the 20mtre Di-pole and vice–verser. Are they too close to
each other? I was intending to switch from one to the other with an
antenner switch.They won”t be used at the same time. Many
Thanks–Frank–UK.
Again, another very instructive video. Thank you. From this, I have found
exactly what I was looking for and it has told me just what I wanted to
know.
The most important function of an antenna tuner is to protect the
transmitter from the reflected power. The tuner gets the reflection, not
the transmitter. An antenna tuner does not do anything to the antenna. Good
video. Thanks……
Good presentation. I have the MFJ 949, and use it on field day for an
IC-735. For everyday operation, my Kenwood TS-2000 has an automatic tuner
and I mostly use resonant antennas, i.e, dipoles, beam, etc.
Excellent explanation! Thx.
That means, if I buy a Sirio Bumerang 27w 11m base antenna I do not need
any cutting of carbon counterpoise with this MFS 949E (or similar) tuner
and I also can use that Sirio 11m antenna for 10m frequency, don’t I?
Nice video series. Thanks. I took the tech exam last week and I’m waiting
to show up in the FCC database. Videos like these are very helpful to noob
like myself.
Fantastic vid. I just bought same tuner and have almost no experience w/
HF. Started looking for videos on the tuner and found yours! Exactly what I
needed. Kudos!

Thanks for your demonstration. I will buy that antenna tuner now he he.
Great help.

you would need to feed your antenna with something other than coax,right?

Great video and very good tips .
Truly appreciated! KF7JEZ (portland, OR)
Excellent – exactly what I needed to see. Please keep making these….

I have recently bought a MFJ-949E (used); I have no experience with
antennas, and both of your videos – Antenna Tuners I & II are helpful.
Thank you.

Bob when transmitting. are you using the tune control to apply power to
check swr?
