Mfj 998 mfj 1500 watt legal limit intellituner
MFJ-998 Full Legal Limit 1500 Watt Intellituner takes you to the final level in automatic antenna tuners. With a capability of 1500 watts SSB and CW, coupled with automatic tuning, your high-power station can now operate essentially hands-free even when frequency and band changes are made.
The MFJ-998 instantly matches impedances from 12-1600 ohms using MFJs exclusive
IntelliTuneTM, AdaptiveSearchTM and InstantRecallTM algorithms with over 20,000
VirtualAntennaTM Memories. When you key your transmitter, MFJs InstantRecallTM
checks to see if that frequency has been used before. If so, tuning is instantaneous. If not, MFJs IntelliTuneTM algorithm (based on MFJs efficient SWR Analyzer technology) measures the impedance, snaps the necessary components in place, and then fine-tunes the SWR. If the antenna impedance is outside the
tuners measurement range, MFJs Adaptive SearchTM algorithm measures the frequency and determines only relevant component values - which are then searched for fast tuning.
Safe Automatic Tuning and Amplifier Protection
The MFJ-998 includes MFJ s Amplifier Bypass ControlTM - an MFJ exclusive feature! When used with a transceiver interface cable, tuning is safe and "stupid-proof"! When a tuning cycle is initiated, the MFJ-998 first bypasses any in-line amplifier. Next, the MFJ-998 initiates a low-power
CW tuning carrier from your transceiver. When tuning is complete, the MFJ-998 reverts your transceiver to its prior power and mode, and re-enables the amplifier. This entire cycle typically takes less than a second! Finally, if the MFJ-998 cannot find a match better than a pre-set amplifier SWR trippoint,
the amplifier stays bypassed to provide automatic SWR protection for your
amplifier - another MFJ exclusive!
A large analog Cross-Needle SWR/Wattmeter displays selectable 300/60 watt or
3000/600 watt forward/reflected full-scale ranges. You can even select automatic
power ranging - the best power range is automatically selected for you.
A two-line, 16-character backlit LCD meter displays SWR, forward/reflected
power, frequency, antenna selected, an autoranging bargraph power indication, and much more. You can even read the final matching inductor and capacitor values should you want to build your own fixed matching network. Simple menus determine displayed information - no complex button combinations to remember!
of 2 switchable antenna connectors. Select up to 4 antennas on each antenna connector. Each antenna has 2500 memories, 20,000 total. Has two coax connectors and a binding post for end-fed long wire antennas.
Field upgradeable firmware via the serial port - download and upgrade your MFJ-998 as new features are introduced!
Built-in radio interface provides control of most amateur transceivers.
Automatic bypassing when excessive tuning power or power in excess of 1500
Use balanced line antennas with external MFJ-912, $59.95, 1.5 kW 4:1 balun.
