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

Good product, I use it to tune multiband antennas

This is the second one of these that I have owned. The first one had issues with the plates in the capacitors arcing, and many of the screws on the SO239 connectors were loose. This one has no such issues. But while examining this one as you always want to do with any MFJ product, I found that the ISO239 for coax jack #1 had never seen any solder, and the ISO239 for the transmitter was a cold solder joint. This prompted me to clean the solder from all connectors and solder them again. The power meter is generous, but this is a minor detail. I love this unit and wouldnt hesitate to purchase another to work on as always. One thing I still plan to do is use heat shrink tubing on the wires tapped to the coil. Bare wires running close to one another has never been something Ive felt confortable seeing. Oh and Im not sure what the one person was talking about that said this has a yellowed light in the meter. I pulled it and looked. The unit I got has a bright white led which lights the meter bright and clear.

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.

It will tune most bands. Meter is hard to read on tx. Still having to adjust it a lot each time I use it.

Nice addition to my shack

GOOD YO GO!

Worked perfect right out of the box. Power cable for meter light was included, nice.

Tunes antenna when my radio cant

First one showed up doa. Returned item resold. Put off buying for a while but gave it one more chance. Glad I did itll tune every thing Ive thrown at it. Very happy.

It takes a couple of minutes to get it calibrated but it is not difficult if you follow the proper procedure. Usually an acceptable SWR is close without even keying the mic and the carrier is only used to fine tune to its lowest point. Dont expect it to solve big antenna issues (using a metal broom handle on 20 meters) but it will resolve many out of band SWR issues. Remember that it is simply fooling and protecting the transceiver but not actually solving the antenna mismatch.
