MFJ uses super heavy duty compo-nents -- roller inductor, variable capaci-tors, antenna switch and balun -- to buildthe world’s most popular high powerantenna tuner.

The rugged world famous MFJ-989Chandles 3 KW PEP SSB amplifier inputpower (1500 Watts PEP SSB outputpower). Covers 1.8 to 30 MHz, includingMARS and WARC bands.

MFJ’s AirCoreTM Roller Inductor, newgear-driven turns counter and weightedspinner knob gives you exact inductancecontrol for absolute minimum SWR.

You can match dipoles, verticals,inverted vees, random wires, beams,mobile whips, shortwave -- nearly anyantenna. Use coax or balanced lines.

You get everything you’ve ever wantedin a high power, full featured antenna tuner-- widest matching range, lighted Cross-Needle SWR/Wattmeter, antenna switch,built-in dummy load, balun -- all in a sleek,compact cabinet. MFJ builds the world’s most popularhigh power antenna tuner using these

super heavy duty components . . .MFJ’s exclusive heavy duty AirCoreTM

Roller Inductor has an air core that can’tburn up! Get ultra high-Q, lowest loss,highest efficiency and highest power han-dling of any roller inductor in ham radio.

MFJ’s exclusive Self-ResonanceKillerTM keeps damaging self-resonancesaway from your operating frequency.

Large, self-cleaning wiping contact

gives excellent low-resistance connectionwithout contact arcing or burning.

Solid 1/4 inch brass shaft, self-alignbearings give smooth non-binding rotation.

Competing tuners use a lossy, low Q,solid plastic core with erratic electrical con-tacts and have potentially damaging self-resonant frequencies. This can causeexcessive heating and melt the core!

Gear Driven CounterA precision gear driven 3-digit turns

counter lets you accurately reset your rollerinductor for quick band changing.

Weighted spinner knob on roller induc-tor gives you smoother flywheel tuning.

Massive Transmitting CapacitorsLook inside . . . you’ll see two super-

heavy duty transmitting variable capacitorsthat can handle 6000 volts. Extra wide(0.27 inch) stator plate spacing gives youarc-free operation.

Specially shaped plates give lowminimum capacitance when unmeshed.This and a hefty 250 pf maximum give youan extremely wide matching range -- evenon 160 and 10 Meters.

Super Antenna SwitchMFJ-989C’s super heavy duty antenna

switch is made of two individual ceramicwafers wired in parallel. Extra wide spaced,heavy duty contacts handle extreme voltagesand currents. We’ve never burned one up!

You can select two coax antennas(directly or through tuner), balanced line/random wire, or built-in dummy load.

MFJ TrueCurrentTM BalunMFJ’s super heavy duty TrueCurrentTM

balun for balanced lines uses two giant 21/2

inch toroid cores. It’s wound with TeflonR

wire connected to high-voltage glazed ceram-ic feedthrough insula-tors.

The MFJ-989C letsyou safely operate highpower into balancedfeedlines without coresaturation or voltagebreakdown.

Some “legal limit”tuners have inferiorvoltage baluns withsmaller diameter toroidcores and soft plastic

feedthrough insulators that can arc and melt.More reasons why the MFJ-989C is the world’s finesthigh power antenna tuner:

Built-in Dummy LoadA full-size 300 Watt non-inductive 50

Ohm dummy load is built into MFJ-989C.You’ll find it handy for transmitter

tuning, testing and repairing rigs, settingpower level, adjusting mic gain and more.

Lighted Cross-Needle MeterLighted Cross-Needle SWR/Watt-meter

lets you monitor SWR, forward and reflect-ed power simultaneously.

Read both peak and average power intwo power ranges. Meter lamp requires 12VDC or 110 VAC with MFJ-1312D,$14.95.

Sleek and CompactThe compact MFJ-989C slides right

into your operating position -- you’ll hardlyknow it’s there. It’s just 103/4Wx41/3Hx15Dinches. Do you want a bulky “legal limit”tuner that’s bigger than your amplifier?

Lexan Front PanelThe MFJ-989C has a new nearly inde-

structable multi-color Lexan front panel.Its detailed logging scales and legends willbe legible for a lifetime of DXing.

Super ConstructionMFJ-989C uses PEM nuts (not self-

tapping screws), wing-nut ground post (nota cheap nut), fire-retardant epoxy glass PCboard (not canvas based), heavy gauge wirethroughout.

A lighted peak and average reading cross-needle meter shows SWR, forward andreflected power at a single glance!

You get a 6-position antenna switch thatlets you select two coax lines and/or randomwires (direct or through tuner), balanced lineand external dummy load.

The MFJ TrueCurrentBalunTM for bal-anced lines minimizes feedline radiation thatcauses field pattern distortion, TVI and RF inyour shack. Ceramic feedthru insulators forbalanced lines withstand high voltages andtemperatures.

Differential-T TunerTM . . . .A new twist on proven technology

Replacing two variable capacitors with asingle differential capacitor gives wide rangeT-network tuning with just two controls -- a

tuning capacitor and a roller inductor. Simple 2-knob tuning makes tuning easier

than ever. You get minimum SWR at only one

setting and a broadbandresponse that ends constantre-tuning. You’ll spendyour time QSOing insteadof fooling with your tuner.

The compact103/4x41/2x15 inch cabinethas plenty of room tomount the roller inductoraway from metal surfacesfor highest Q -- you gethigh efficiency and morepower into your antenna.Wide-spaced tuning capaci-tor plates let you run highpower without arcing.

Lighted cross-needle meterMFJ’s lighted Cross-Needle Meter shows

you SWR, forward and reflected power simul-taneously. It reads peak or average power on2000 or 200 Watt ranges.

Lamp has on/off switch and uses 12 VDCor 110 VAC with MFJ-1312D, $14.95.

MFJ TrueCurrentBalunTM

reduces feedline radiationMost tuners use a voltage balun that

forces equal voltages on the two antennahalves. It minimizes unbalanced currentsonly if the antenna is perfectly balanced -- notthe case with practical antennas.

The MFJ-986 uses a true current balun toforce equal currents in the two antenna halves-- even if the antenna is not perfectly bal-anced!

The MFJ TrueCurrentBalunTM gives supe-rior balance over voltage baluns and mini-mizes unbalanced current. This reduces fieldpattern distortion, concentrates your power fora stronger signal -- plus it reduces TVI andRF in your shack caused by feedline radia-tion.

MFJ’ssmallest

(5x21/2x6) and most affordable 200 WattPEP VERSA TUNER. Match dipoles,vees, random wires, verticals, mobilewhips, beams, balanced and coax lines con-tinuously from 1.8-30 MHz. A 4:1 balunfor balanced lines is built into this MFJ-901B tuner. Three adjustment controls formaximum matching capability.

It’s not just a tuner, it’s an 8-positionantenna switch.

The photo tells the story: you can selectamong two coaxial-fed antennas, a bal-anced line (4:1 toroid balun included) orrandom wire or an external dummy load,and for each you can select “direct”(bypassing the tuner) or “tuned.”

This tuner is rated at 200 watts and canmatch dipoles, vees, random wires, andbalanced and coax feedlines, from 1.8 to 30MHz. You get a lighted cross needle

SWR/wattmeterwith on/offswitch (lampuses 12 VDC or110 VAC with MFJ-1312D,$14.95).

The meter shows SWR, andforward and reflected power in 300/60 and30/6 watt ranges selected at the front panel.

An efficient 12 position airwoundinductor gives low losses for more powerout. Uses 1000 Volt capacitors.

The aluminum cabinet has a durablescratch-proof multi-color Lexan front panelto complement your rig and fits right intoyour station.

Measures a sleek, compact105/8Wx27/8Hx7D inches.

The MFJ-971 is a tiny, inexpensiveportable 200 watt PEP antenna tuner that’sa perfect match for today’s ultra-compactHF transceivers while offering featuresespecially designed for the QRP operator.

Covering 1.8 to 30 MHz, this T-matchtuner can match coax-fed antennas, aswell as those fed with balanced feedline,and random wires. A 4:1 toroid balun isbuilt in for balanced lines.

From the factory, the MFJ-971 offers forward powerreadings of 30 watts maximum or 300 watts, on its crossneedle meter. You can monitor forward power, reflectedpower, and SWR simultaneously. For dedicated QRP operation,swapping of a jumper plug internally converts the maximum for-ward reading on the meter to 6 watts.

The meter lamp may be powered by an external 12 VDCsource if you desire (MFJ-1312D, $14.95).

The MFJ-971, while an all-around low-power tuner, is especially suited for MFJtransceivers and power packs. It matches themin size and styling and brackets included withthe tuner allow connecting the units togetherphysically into an attractive and compactpackage.

As in all good antenna tuners, three con-trols give flexibility in matching: Inductance

(12 positions), Transmitter, and Antenna. Once you find theproper setting on each band, just record it for future “instantband changing.”

Rear panel includes SO-239 coaxial jacks for transmitterand antenna; 2 sturdy binding posts for balanced line; anotherbinding post for a random wire; ground post; 12 VDC input jackfor meter lamp; and low/high power meter range switch.

The MFJ-971 is backed by MFJ’s No Matter WhatTM warranty.Measures a tiny 6X6X2.5 inches.

MFJ Compact Mobile HF Antenna TunerThe compact MFJ-945E mobile anten-

na tuner covers 6 Meters and HF (1.8- 60MHz), handles 300 PEP watts, and tunescoaxial cable-fed antennas, plus randomwires.

Don’t leave home without this mobiletuner, and have a a better trip as the MFJ-945E extends antenna bandwidth and elimi-nates the need to stop, go outside, and read-just your mobile antenna.

The frustratingly narrow bandwidth ofmobile antennas can be greatly broadenedwith this tuner.

Of course, this diminutive tuner can beused to tune coax-fed home station anten-nas of all kinds, too, as well as randomwires.

The cross needle meter shows SWR,forward, and reflected power -- at a glance.

It reads forward/reflectedpower in 300/60 and 30/6watt ranges.

The ON/ OFF lampswitch is handy forchanging light conditions in your vehicle;the meter lamp is 12 VDC powered (MFJ-1312D, $14.95).

Large, conveniently-placed controlsmake tuning fast and easy.

The bypass switch lets you bypass thetuner (connecting your antenna and trans-

mitter directly) while still using itsSWR/wattmeter.

The back panel has SO-239 coaxialconnectors for your transmitter and antennafeedline and a wing nut post for yourground.

For at-home use with a random wire astandard banana plug fits neatly into theantenna jack.

An efficient airwound inductor givesyou lower losses for more watts output.

The small, 8Wx2Hx6D inch black alu-minum cabinet takes up little space.

A mobile mounting bracket, MFJ-20, is$4.95. Add $2.00 shipping for the bracketif ordered separately.

The MFJ-974H is afully balanced true bal-anced line antenna tuner.It gives you superb cur-rent balance throughoutits very wide matchingand frequency range.

Johnson MatchboxFor decades, the Johnson Matchbox has

been the standard of comparison for bal-anced line tuners. But, it had a severelylimited matching range and covered only80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 Meters.

The MFJ-974H is its successor. Itmeets today's needs and even surpasses theJohnson Matchbox outstandingperformance.

Everything You NeedThe MFJ-974H gives you excellent cur-

rent balance, very wide matching range(12-2000 Ohms) and covers 1.8 through 54MHz continuously including all WARCbands, 160 Meters, 6 Meters and the new60 Meter band. Handles 300 Watts SSBPEP and 150 Watts CW.

Tuning is fast and easy - - just three tun-ing controls. You can even adjust for high-ly efficient broadband low-Q operation oruse higher Q when you encounter extremeloads.

A large three-inch lighted Cross-NeedleSWR/Wattmeter lets you read SWR, peakor average forward and reflected power allat a glance on 300 or 30 Watt ranges.

A ground post is provided to ground oneoutput terminal so you can also tune ran-dom wires and coax fed antennas.

Compact 7½Wx6Hx8D inches fits any-where.

Tunes any Balanced LineThe MFJ-974H tunes any balanced lines

including 600 Ohm open wire line, 450/300Ohm ladder lines, 300/72 Ohm twin lead -- shielded or unshielded.

Superb current balance minimizes feed-line radiation that can cause troublesomeTVI and RFI, painful RF bites, mysteriousRF feedback problems and radiation patterndistortion.Excellent Balance, Excellent Design

The MFJ-974H is a fully balanced widerange T-Network using four gear driven1000-Volt air variable capacitors and high-Q air wound tapped inductor for 80-10Meters and separate inductors for 6 and160 Meters. The tuning components aremounted symmetrically to insure electricalbalance.

A 1:1 current balun is placed on the lowimpedance 50 input side to convert the bal-anced T-Network to unbalanced operation.The balun is made of 50 ferrite beads onRG-303 Teflon™ coax to give exceptionaland efficient isolation. It stays cool even atmaximum power.

Balanced Line = Extremely Low LossBalanced lines give extremely low loss.Doublet, horizontal loop, vertical loop,

quad, double extended Zepp, Lazy H, W8JKantennas all give efficient multi-band oper-ation when fed with balanced lines.

Antenna Tuner/Artificial Ground

MFJ-934 is unique because it has abuilt-in artificial ground. A ground match-ing knob lets you switch in inductance tobring an attached wire to a low impedancecurrent point to form an artificial ground.A push button lets you use the Cross-Needle Meter to monitor for maximumground current. With an artificial groundto work against, you’ll be surprised to seehow well a random wire can work.

You get a 300 Watt full featured, gen-eral purpose antenna tuner that covers 1.8-30 MHz. It has a two range, lighted Cross-Needle Meter that lets you read SWR, for-ward and reflected power all in a glanceand a 4:1 balun for balanced lines. Plus,you get an efficient airwound inductor, spe-cial high current/voltage 12 position induc-tor switch and two 1000 volt air-variablecapacitors. It tunes all types of antennasand feedlines including random wire, coaxand balanced lines. 105/8Wx31/2Hx8D in.

MFJ Artificial RF GroundPlaces your rig near earth ground potential!

Create anartificial groundwith this MFJ-931! It effectively placesyour rig near actual earth ground potentialeven if your rig is on the second floor orhigher with no earth ground possible!

Also, it electrically places a far awayRF ground at your rig.

How’s your RF ground? Do you haveRF “hot spots” that “bite” you when youtransmit? Do you have RF feedback thatcauses your rig to quit working on somebands? Do you have TVI/RFI that makesyour neighbors hard to live with? Do youget weak signal reports because of extremeground losses or radiation pattern distortion?

These problems could be caused bypoor RF grounding, especially if your rig ison a second floor with no ground at all.Even if you have a good ground, a longconnection wire can ruin its effectivenessby isolating true RF ground from your rig.

It resonates a random length of wirethrown along the floor and produces atuned counterpoise. This artificial groundeffectively places your rig near actual earthground potential with no earth ground pos-sible. Reduces the electrical length of theground connection wire to virtually zero bytuning out its reactance. MFJ-931 connectsbetween your rig and a random length ofwire or a connecting ground wire.

“What did you say?”Can you hear but . . . just can’t always

understand what people are saying?As we get older, high frequency hearing

loss reduces our ability to understand speech.Here’s why . . .

Research shows that nearly half thespeech intelligibility is contained in 1000 to4000 Hz range, but contains a miniscule 4%of total speech energy.

On the other hand, the low frequencies,125 to 500 Hz have most of the speech energy(55%) but contribute very little to intelligibili-ty -- only 4%.

To dramatically improve your ability tounderstand speech, you must:

First, drastically increase the speech ener-gy above 500 Hz, where 83% of the speechintelligibility is concen-trated.

Second, drastically reduce speech energybelow 500 Hz where only 4% of speech intel-ligibility lies.

The MFJ-616 splits theaudio speechband into fouroverlappingoctave ranges

centered at 300, 600, 1200 and 2400 Hz. Youcan boost or cut each by nearly 20 dB.

A balance control and separate 21/2 Wattamplifiers let you equalize perceived loudnessto each ear so both ears help.

By boosting high and cutting low frequen-cies and adjusting the balanced control, speechthat you can barely under-stand become highlyunderstandable!

Even if you don’t have high frequency hear-ing loss, you’ll dramatically improve your abil-ity to understand speech.

QST for April, 2001 said “I expected a subtleeffect at best, but I was astonished . . . The resultwas remarkably clean, understandable speechwithout hissing, ringing or other strangeeffects . . . made a dramatic improvement . . .”

Wipe out noise and interference before itgets into your receiver with a 60 dB null!

Eliminate all types of noise -- severepower line noise from arcing transformersand insulators, fluorescent lamps, light

dimmers, touch controlled lamps, com-puters, TV birdies, lightning crashes fromdistant thunderstorms, electric drills,motors, industrial processes.

It’s more effective than a noise blankerbecause interference much stronger thanyour desired signal can be completelyremoved without affecting your signal.

It works on all modes --SSB, AM, CW, FM, frequences fromBCB to lower VHF.

Null out strong QRM on top of weakrare DX and then work him! You cannull out a strong local ham or AM broad-cast station to prevent receiver from over-loading.Use MFJ-1026 as an adjustable phasing

network. You can combine two antennas togive you various directional patterns.

Null out a strong interfering signal or

peak a weak signal at a push of a button. Easy-to-use! Plugs between transmit-

ting antenna and transceiver. To null,adjust amplitude and phase controls forminimum S-meter reading or lowest noise.To peak, push reverse button.

Use built-in active antenna or an externalone. MFJ’s exclusive Constant AmplitudePhase ControlTM makes nulling easy.

RF-sense T/R switch automaticallybypasses your transceiver when you trans-mit. Adjustable delay time. 12 VDC or 110VAC with MFJ-1312D, $14.95. Measures6½X1½X6¼ inches.

Tunable bandpass filtersNarrow band signals like CW & RTTY

jump out of QRM when you switch inMFJ’s tunable FIR bandpass filters.

You can tune the center frequency from300 to 3400 Hz, and vary the bandwidthfrom 30 Hz to 2100 Hz -- from super-tightCW filters to wide razor-sharp Data filters.

You can use two tunable fil-ters together. For example,tune one to mark, one to spaceand set bandwidth tight for asuper sharp RTTY filter.

You can tune the lower cutoff frequency200 to 2200 Hz and the upper cutoff fre-quency 1400 to 3400 Hz. This lets youcreate custom filters for voice, data andother modes. Signals just 75 Hz away lit-erally disappear -- they are reduced 57 dB!

Automatic notch filterMFJ’s automatic notch filter searches

for and eliminates multiple heterodynes inmilli-seconds. It’s so fast, that even inter-fering CW and RTTY signals can also beeliminated. Selectively remove unwantedtones using the two manually tunable notchfilters -- an MFJ exclusive. Knock out un-wanted CW stations while you’re on CW.

Adaptive Noise ReductionNoise reduction works in all filter modes

and on all random noise -- white noise,static, impulse, ignition noise, power linenoise, hiss.

The LMS algorithm gives you up to 20dB of noise reduction. Noise reduction isadjustable to prevent signal distortion.

MFJ-890 DX Beacon MonitorGet up-to-the-minute worldwide DX

band conditions in minutes on14, 18, 21, 24, 28 MHz bandsusing the International BeaconNetwork of 18 transmittersaround the world!

MFJ's DX Beacon Monitor lets yousee which beacon you're hearing on yourtransceiver -- an LED lights on its worldmap to show you the beacon locationand where to point your antenna.

It's fascinating to hear and watch eachbeacon location light up as they becomeactive across the world. Great forDXers, contesters, ragchewers andSWLers.

The International Beacon Network pro-vides a reliable source of signals for deter-mining HF propagation 24 hours a day.

It consists of 18 beacons around theworld. Each beacon transmits on 14.1,18.11, 21.150, 24.93 and 28.2 MHz. Thetransmit sequence moves westward fromNew York across North America, Asia,Pacific to Africa, Europe, South America.

On each frequency, each beacon trans-

mits for ten-seconds -- its call sign at 22wpm CW and a one-second dash at 100watts and three one-second dashes at 10, 1,and 0.1 watts.

When each beacon completes a trans-mission it goes silent on that band andswitches to the next higher band.

For more information see Oct/Nov, 1994,Sept, 1997 QST and Jan 1999, Sept/Dec2001, Jan 2002 Practical Wireless of U.K.

The more beacons you hear, the more

open the band is to different parts of theworld.

The more dashes you hear per beacon,the better the quality of propagation and themore robust the band is. If you hear the100 milliwatt dashes from many beaconsyou know the band is wide open!

In just three minutes you'll know howband conditions are worldwide.

You don't have to copy CW at 22 wpmto identify a beacon. As you hear a bea-con, an LED instantly lights on a worldmap to show you its location. You can pos-itively identify each beacon -- even if thesignal is weak, fluttery or distorted.

The MFJ DX Beacon Monitor has abuilt-in WWVB atomic clock receiver toprovide ultra precise synchronization withthe GPS-synchronized beacons. You alsomay manually sync the Monitor (theMonitor is not a receiver).

But, you can’t use the antenna unlessyou have the MFJ-1925/MFJ-1925 I2antenna controller. MFJ made it possiblefor the popular Yaesu ATAS series anten-na to be used with other radios such asthe IC-706, TS-50 and others.

The MFJ is installed in-line betweenthe antenna and rig. Provides the neces-sary voltage to move antena up or downwhen controller is pressed accordingly.

MFJ-1925 I2 is specially designed forthe Icom IC-706. It’s a perfect match forthe 706 and the Yaesu screwdriver anten-na. It has a special 706 controller cablewith 4-pin connector that mates with the706 controller port.

When the up/down switch is pressedon the controller, the 706 automaticallytransmits in low power and turns the

antenna for low SWR. When the lowestSWR is found, simply release the tuneswitch on the MFJ controller. Nowyou’re ready to operate. SWR is moni-tored by the meter on the 706.

MFJ-1925 I2 is simple to install. Nomodification to the radio or antenna isnecessary. SO-239 connectors for radioand antenna connections. MFJ-1925 I2has connection for 13.6 VDC power and4-pin connector for the 706 antenna port.

The MFJ Ground-Coupled PortableAntenna BaseTM gives you a stable way tomount your vertical antenna and provides aneffective ground by just plopping down thebase and standing on it to push the legs firm-ly into the ground. It’ll support many multi-band verticals.

It’s perfect for traveling or for semi-per-manent summer/winter homes. You can eas-ily set it up and take down your verticalantenna for stealth operation if you live in anantenna-restricted area.

The MFJ-1904 Ground-Coupled PortableAntenna BaseTM is a 2x2 foot stainless steelsquare with reinforcing bends that greatlystrengthens it. There is a folded and taperedsix-inch stainless steel leg on each corner.

Two antenna mounts let you use a varietyof vertical antennas.

Two handles make carrying and removingthe base fast and easy.

You can also attach radials for improvedperformance.

Stainless steel construction means you’llget trouble-free service for years.

The base is anchored into the ground bystepping on each corner and forcing each leginto the ground. Each stainless steel leg isdesigned to keep the base from tilting.

The base can support a lightweight multi-band vertical antenna -- like the all band Hy-Gain 18AVS and the bandswitching MFJ-1795 -- and provide a semi-permanent instal-lation. You can even hide the base by cover-ing it with dirt.

Built-in antenna mount with SO-239 coaxconnector and two U-bolts lets you mountmost standard and homebrew vertical antennas.

10 Bands -- One MFJ Antenna!Full size performance . . . No ground system or radialsOperate 10 bands: 75/80, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12, 10, 6 and 2 Meters with one antennaSeparate full size radiators . . . End loading . . . Elevated top feed . . . Low RadiationAngle . . . Very wide bandwidth . . . Highest performance no ground vertical ever . . .

Operate 10 bands -- 75/80, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15,12, 10, 6 and 2 Meters with this MFJ-1798 verticalantenna and get full size performance with noground or radials!

Full size performance gives high efficiency formore power radiated. Results? Stronger signalsand more Q-5 QSOs.

Full size performance also gives you exception-ally wide bandwidths so you can use more of yourhard earned frequencies.

Full size performance is achieved using separatefull size radiators for 2-20 Meters and highly effi-cient end loading for 30, 40, 75/80 Meters.

Handles full 1500 watts PEPGet very low radiation angle for exciting DX,

automatic bandswitching, omni-directional cover-age, low SWR. Handles 1500 Watts PEP SSB.

MFJ’s unique Elevated Top FeedTM elevates thefeedpoint all the way to the top of the antenna. Itputs the maximum radiation point high up in theclear where it does the most good -- your signalgets out even if you’re ground mounted.

It’s easy to tune because adjusting one band hasminimum effect on the resonant frequencies ofother bands.

Self-supporting and just 20 feet tall, the MFJ-1798 mounts easily from ground level to tower top-- small lots, backyards, apartments, condos, roofs,tower mounts.

Separate Full Size RadiatorsSeparate full size quarter wave radiators are used on 20,

17, 15, 12, 10 and 2 Meters. On 6 Meters, the 17 Meterradiator becomes a 3/4 wave radiator.

The active radiator works as a stub to decouple every-

thing beyond it. In phase antenna current flows inall parallel radiators.

This forms a very large equivalent radiator andgives you incredible bandwidths.

Radiator stubs provide automatic bandswitch-ing -- absolutely no loss due to loading coils ortraps.

End LoadingOn 30, 40, 75/80 Meters, end loading -- the

most efficient form of loading -- gives you highlyefficient performance, excellent bandwidth, lowangle radiation and automatic bandswitching.

MFJ’s unique Frequency Adaptive L-NetworkTM provides automatic impedance match-ing for lowest SWR on these low bands.

Tuning to your favorite part of these bands issimple and is done at the bottom of the antenna.

No Ground or Radials NeededYou don’t need a ground or radials because an

effective counterpoise that’s 12 feet across givesyou excellent ground isolation.

You can mount it from ground level to roof topand get awesome performance.

The feedline is decoupled and isolated from theantenna with MFJ’s exclusive AirCoreTM highpower current balun. It’s wound with TeflonRcoax and can’t saturate, no matter how high yourpower.

Built to LastIncredibly strong solid fiberglass rod and large

diameter 6063 T-6 aircraft strength aluminum tubing is inthe main structure.

Efficient high-Q coils are wound on tough low lossfiberglass forms using highly weather resistant TeflonR cov-ered wire.

1/2-wwave, 6-BBand No-rradials Vertical

Only 12 feet high with a tiny 24 inch footprint! Mount any-where -- ground level to tower top -- apartments, small lots,trailers.

Perfect for vacations, field day, DXpeditions, camping.Efficient end-loading, no lossy traps. Entire length always

radiating. Full size halfwave on 2/6 Meters. High power air-wound choke balun eliminates feedline radi-

ation. Adjusting one band has minimum effect on others. For 40-

20-15, 10, 6, 2 Meters.Automatic bandswitching, low radiation angle, omni-direc-

tional, handles 1500 watts PEP. Goes together in an afternoon. In November 1994 QST magazine, Top of the DXCC Honor

Roll member and Top 10 contester James D. Cain, K1TN, wrote “This antenna turned out to be a good performer on all

bands...a $200 ground-independent vertical thatwill get you on segments of four HF bands whenthere’s room for nothing else except a small trans-mitting loop antenna.”

AMERITRON...the world’s high power leader! 47

AL-811 . . . 600 WATTS . . . $649!More hams use Ameritron AL-811 amplifiers than any other amplifier in the world

. . . The AL-811 has earned a worldwide reputation for legendary quality,flawless performance, proven reliability and superb customer service . . .

Ameritron’s AL-811 linearamplifier gives you plenty ofpower to bust through QRM!

You get a quiet desktop lin-ear that’s so compact it’ll slideright into your operating posi-tion -- you’ll hardly know it’sthere . . . until QRM sets in. Andyou can conveniently plug itinto your nearest 120 VAC out-let -- no special wiring needed.

You get three tough 811Atransmitting tubes, extra heavyduty power supply, all HF bandcoverage, pressurized ventilation,tuned input, dual illuminatedmeters, adjustable ALC and muchmore for an incredible $649!

The First 600 Watts makes the difference

The AL-811 gives you 600Watts PEP output -- that’s near-ly 2 full S-units over your bare-foot rig. That could mean thedifference between hearing,“You’re Q-5 armchair copy”and “Sorry, can’t copy you, toomuch QRM.”

Now you won’t have tostand aside while the big gunssteal your DX. You’ll log someof those stations first.

All band, all mode CoverageAL-811 covers all HF

bands. No compromise onWARC and most MARS bands-- you get a 100% rated output.

Operate AL-811 on allmodes. Get 600 Watts outputPEP SSB and 500 Watts outputCW. You even get 300 Wattson continuous carrier modeslike RTTY, SSTV, and FM.

The low cost 811A tubesresists failure because . . .First, they’re constructed withwidely spaced elements thatminimize the chance of ele-ments touching and causing ashort -- even if the plate getshot enough to melt.

Second,they use adirectlyheated tho-riated tungsten filament cathodethat prevents the electron emit-ting layer from instantly strip-ping off -- even if mistuning

causes a sudden, severe currentoverload.

The Ameritron AL-811 isexcellent for the newcomerbecause it’s tough enough towithstand momentary mistun-ing. And the tubes are so inex-pensive that you can replaceone for mere pocket change.Extra heavy duty power supply

gives you peak performanceyear after year

The heart of the AL-811power supply is its heavy dutypower transformer with a highsilicon steel core weighing ahefty 17 pounds.

A full wave bridge using67.5 mfd of total capacitance(four 270 ufd, 450 volt capaci-

tors) produces 1500 Voltsunder full load and 1700 Voltsno load. That’s excellent highvoltage regulation!

Rectifier diodes are ratedfor a massive surge current of200 amps-- won’t blow even ifyou accidentally short the highvoltage supply.

Wire wound, 7 Watt, 50 KOhm equalizing resistors safe-ly protect each filter capacitor-- not 2 Watt, 100 K Ohm car-bon composition resistors thatcan open and cause filtercapacitors to explode or fail.Ameritron’s AL-811 power

supply is built tough so you getpeak performance year afteryear.

Tuned input provides excellent load for any rigA Pi-Network tuned input

provides a 50 Ohm load foryour rig. Even fussy solid state

rigs can deliver their full driveto the AL-811.

Low loss slug tuned coils --tunable from the rear panel --let you optimize performance.High quality low drift silvermica capacitors maintain propertuning.

Output tank: Optimum Q on each bandThe low loss pi-network

output tank has been carefullydesigned for optimum Q oneach band and built with topquality RF components.

The result is peak perform-ance over each band, wideimpedance matching range andexceptionally smooth tuningwith efficiencies close to 70%.

Even a 3:1 SWR load won’tdamage tubes/tank components.

A ball bearing vernierreduction drive makes platetuning safe, precise and easy.

A quiet blower pressurizesthe cabinet with a large volumeof air flow. It keeps the 811Atube temperature well below thetube manufacturer’s rating --even with a key down carrier at400 Watts output -- without theoverwhelming noise of over-sized fans.

Two illuminated metersTwo illuminated meters

give you a clear picture of yourAL-811 operating conditions soyou can tell right away if some-thing is wrong.

The Grid Current metercontinuously checks forimproper loading. The othermeter switches be-tween highvoltage and plate current towarn of abnormal conditions.Exclusive Adapt-A-VoltTM power

transformerToo high of line voltage

stresses components and causesthem to wear out and fail. Toolow line voltage causes a “softtube” effect -- low output andsignal distortion.

Ameritron’s exclusiveAdapt-A-VoltTM power trans-former has a special buck-boostwinding that lets you compen-sate for stressful high line volt-age and performance robbinglow line voltage. Your compo-nents last longer and gives youpeak performance -- regardlessof your line voltage.

Plus much, much more . . . An Operate/Standby switch

lets you run barefoot, but youcan in-stantly switch to fullpower if needed. A transmitLED tells you when your rig iskeying your AL-811. A 12VDC keying relay makes itcompatible with all solid stateand tube rigs.

Feel the need for maximum legalHF output power? AMERITRON’sAL-1500 will give it to you.

Using the Herculean3CX1500A/8877 ceramic tube with its highpower gain, the AL-1500 needs only 65 wattsof drive from your exciter to deliver the goods-- transceivers and other exciters just loaf at1500 watts out.

Cool, efficient operation is provided by aforced-air system with tube chimney, using acommercial grade die-cast ball bearing blowerfor maximum tube life. The tube is further pro-tected by time delay starting and automaticover-current shutoff to remove drive power ifthe amplifier is mis-tuned.

You get full legal power output from awhisper quiet desktop linear. Measures 181/2Dx17Wx10H inches, and covers all bands, 160-15 Meters, including WARC and MARS (80%of full output set to nearest amateur band).

10/12 Meters modifiable. You get 1500 watts output (1/2 hour

continuous carrier) and 2500 watts (30second continuous carrier and 2500watts- plus 30 minute PEP two-tone test).You get all this power, plus, 65% effi-ciency, pi-network tuned input, Pi/Pi-Loutput, inrush current protection, multi-voltage transformer, QSK compatability,and a one-year warranty.

The guts of the AL-1500 is its heavyduty power supply, with a 32 lb. PeterDahl Hypersil(R) transformer using a highsilicone steel core, computer gradecapacitors (33 mfd total), heavy dutybleeders and twenty 3 amp, 1000 voltpower rectifiers give you a stiff 3300volts fully loaded.

The AL-1500 is built on a rugged steelchassis with a separate RF compartment fullyshielded to keep RF from leaking out, keepingRFI and TVI to a minimum.

Superb RF design and layout, Hi-Q tankcircuit and commercially rated RF power com-ponents give you 65% plate efficiency over theentire operating range. Power goes into theantenna instead of into heat.

50-ohm broadband Pi-Network tuned inputwith slug-tuned coils is used. Even fussy solidstate transmitters will deliver full power!

A carefully designed Pi/Pi-L output net-work using the optimum Q for each band withvernier ball drives gives smooth tuning, widematching range, full band coverage, and peakperformance at all power levels.

The AL-1500’s grid overload circuit pro-

tects the tube from excessive grid current; if175 mA of peak gric current is reached, the“OPR” LED will no longer light and theamplifier will go into a bypass condition untilreset by the operator.

Transformer provides many optionsSince excessive line voltage stresses com-

ponents (low line voltage causes a “soft tube”effect, for example), Ameritron’s exclusiveMulti-Voltage Power TransformerTM lets youoptimize for different line voltages. Select from4 different primary voltage ranges, from 205-219 VAC to 252 to 265 VAC. The amplifiercomes wired from the factory for 240 VAC.

The AL-1500 has two illuminated panelmeters. The Grid Current meter provides con-tinuous reading of the critical grid current andindicates proper and safe amplifier operation.

The other meter can be selected to readPlate Voltage, Plate Current, Peak RF Watts,or ALC. A SSB/CW selector switch choosesbias voltage for best linearity on SSB or lowestdissipation on CW.

The Operate/Standby switch, in Standby,maintains the tube’s filament and plate volt-ages while allowing “barefoot” operation.

Other features include a 12 volt DC auxil-iary jack and an “XMT” LED to provide indi-cation of proper amplifier keying by theexciter. Power required: 240 VAC, 15 amps.

Classic 3-500 Tubes Deliver Full Legal Power in AMERITRON AL-82

This classic AL-82 linear gives you fulllegal output using a pair of 3-500s. Examinethe features and component ratings of the AL-82 and compare it to any competing amplifierusing two 3-500Zs.

Most can’t give you 1500 watts becausetheir lightweight power supplies can’t usethese tubes to their full potential. Our AL-82amplifier has the same power supply as theAL-1500 and AL-1200 -- powerful stuff!

The Ameritron AL-82 linear ampli-fier is designed to give you years oftrouble free service at the full legal out-put power limit.

A 32-pound, 1800 watt continuous com-mercial rated tape-wound Peter DahlHypersil(R) transformer is standard with heavyduty rectifiers in a full wave bridge supplywith computer capacitors. Two bias settingsallow either high efficiency RTTY and CWoperation at 1500 watts of output at nearly70% plate efficiency or low distortion 1500watts PEP, SSB or SSTV output.

Silver plated tank components providehigh efficiency operation above 20 meters.The Pi-L tank circuit permits full impedancematching capability over the entire 160 meterband. The Pi-L/PI output tuning capacitorsand bandswitch have a 35% safety factor tovirtually eliminate tank circuit component

failures.The cooling system keeps the components

and tube safely below the manufacturer's rat-ings, even while operating at 1500 watts out-put with a steady carrier. The filament supplyhas inrush current limiting to insure maxi-mum tube life. Shielding and by-passing helpprevent TVI and RFI.

The AL-82 has two illuminated meters;Grid Current reads the 3-500Z grid current.This is an Ameritron first. A multi-meter dis-plays plate voltage, plate current, peak R.F.output power and drive power/ALC detectorvoltage.

Frequency coverage: 1.8, 3.5, 7, 14, 21MHz and WARC bands. User modifiable for28 MHz (FCC license required).

Dimensions: 181/2Dx17Wx10"H. UPSShippable. Operating weight is 76 lbs. PowerRequirement: 240 VAC, 15 Amps.

What makes the AL-1200stand out from other legal limitamplifiers? The answer: asuper heavy duty power supplythat loafs at full legal powerand can deliver more than 2500watts PEP two-tone output fora half hour, the same powersupply as in our AL-1500amplifier. The heart of the AL-

1200 power supply is a highly efficient Peter Dahltape wound Hypersil(R) transformer weighing 32 lbs.

And now ham radio’s toughest tube, the EimacR

3CX1200A7, is in ham radio’s toughest amplifier! Ithas a 50 Watt control grid dissipation. The 3CX1200A7 has the lowestquantity history of field replacement of any modern transmitting tubethat we use. It has the ruggedness and power handling of ceramic tubeswith the long-life of thoriated tungsten filaments.

You get genuine high current, computer-grade capacitors withscrew-on terminals. The AL-1200 rectifier board uses diodes rated fora massive surge current of 200 amps -- you can accidentally short the

high voltage supply and the diodes won't blow! Will another amplifieryou're considering withstand a direct power supply short?

The AL-1200 also gives you all mode, all band coverage, includ-ing WARC and MARS, Pi-network tuned input, Step-Start InrushProtection, multi-voltage power transformer primary, and a Pi-L outputtank curcuit with silver plated components.

SWR protection prevents amplifierdamage if you switch to a wrong band, usewrong antenna, or have high SWR.

Over-power protection looks for exces-sive output forward power or reflectedpower and automatically reduces outputpower to prevent amplifier damage, bycontrolling ALC to exciter.

This little powerhouse is unobtrusive;

its low speed, low volume fanis so quiet you'll hardly knowit's there, unlike noisy blowersused in other amps.

At just 6 x 9-1/2 x 12 inches, the ALS-600 may take up less desktop space thanyour transceiver, and it weighs just 12.5pounds.

The illuminated cross-needleSWR/wattmeter reads SWR and forwardand reflected peak power simultaneously.

The Operate/Standby switch lets yourun "barefoot" but instantly switch to fullpower if you need it.

With the AMERITRON exclusive frontpanel ALC control you can adjust your out-put power.

What makes our antennas stand aboveall the rest is that our CNC machined com-ponents are from aircraft aluminum orstainless steel and blueprinted, meaningyou can take antennas apart and mix themup, then reassemble and they all work the

same.Our fiberglass coil form is approximate-

ly 2 inches in diameter. Other antennabuilders know fiberglass is better but theychoose not to use it because of the expenseand difficulty in machining. We use 14gauge wire for high power capability,wound at eight turns an inch for maximumefficiency. We machine groove our coils sothey will not loosen up or jam -- they won'twear out, for years of trouble free service!

The decoupler we use is CNC machinedfor tight tolerances with custom fingerstockdesigned to contact 3 turns of coil all thetime with over 25 pounds of combined con-tact pressure. With this design you can runup to 1.2 kilowatts PEP, trouble free. It's sosuperior to anything else on the market thatwe put our outstanding AMERITRON war-ranty behind it.

We use a new heavy duty Pittman com-mercial 12 volt gear motor, which is verydurable and quiet while receive tuning.This motor is super heavy duty for years oftrouble-free service. Antennas come with

52 Ameritron . . . The World’s High Power Leader!

Ameritron’s Remote Coax Switchlets you remotely switch up to fiveseparate antennas using one inexpen-sive small control line (like standard

telephone wire) -- Eliminate a tangle of trouble-some coax and have a simple and neat installa-tion -- with just a single coax feedline.

The RCS-8V consists of two units -- theweatherproof switching box that mounts onyour tower or mast and the control unit that’splaced at your operating station.

VSWR is less than 1.2 from DC to 250 MHzand less than 0.1 dB loss at 150 MHz -- if youoperate HF/VHF/UHF, the RCS-8V is for you.

It handles over 5 kW below 30 MHz and 1kW at 150 MHz. You can ground unused posi-tions or leave them open.

The indoor control unit is all metal to pre-vent RFI and TVI. It also has LEDs to indicate

the antenna you’ve selected. A Lexan scratch proof front panel has a

markable surface for labeling your antennas.RCS-8V operates from a 120 VAC power

source or RCS-8VX for 220/240 VAC. Use any6 conductor control line (not supplied) andallows safe operation with 14V control voltage.

The MFJ-993IntelliTunerTM lets you

tune any antenna automatically balancedor unbalanced - - ultra fast.

It’s a comprehensive automatic antennatuning center complete with SWR/Watt-meter, antenna switch for two antennas and4:1 current balun for balanced lines.

MFJs exclusive IntelliTunerTM, AdaptiveSearchTM and InstantRecallTM algorithmsgive you ultra fast automatic tuning withover 2000 non-volatile revolving memories.

You get a highly efficient L-network,wide 6-1600 ohm matching at full 300Watts SSB/150 Watts CW, 1.8-30 MHzcoverage, Cross-Needle and digital meters,aural SWR meter, backlit LCD display,remote control port, radio interface, heavy-

duty 16 amp/1000 volt relays and more.It learns while you’re having funAs you’re ragchewing, contesting or

DXing, your MFJ-993 is learning!When you transmit, the MFJ-993 auto-

matically tunes for minimum SWR andremembers your frequency and tuner set-tings. The next time you operate on thatfrequency and antenna, these tuner settingsare instantly restored and you’re ready tooperate in milliseconds!

Each of two antennas can learn andremember over a thousand frequencies andtuner settings. They are safely stored innon-volatile revolving memory.

Highly Intelligent ultra fast tuningMFJs InstantRecallTM first checks its

memory to see if you have operated thisfrequency before. If so, tuning is instanta-neous and you re ready to operate.

If not, MFJs IntelliTunerTM algorithm - -based on MFJ s famous SWR Analyzertechnology - - kicks in. It measures thecomplex impedance of your antenna. Next,it calculates the components it needs andinstantly snaps them in. Then, it fine tunesto minimize SWR -- you’re ready to oper-ate. It’s all done in a fraction of a second.

When the impedance is within its meas-urement range, the MFJ-993 is the fastestautomatic antenna tuner in the world.

If it can’t accurately determine imped-ance, MFJ’s AdaptiveSearchTM algorithm

goes into action. Frequency is measuredand relevant components values are deter-mined. Only those values are searched forultra-fast tuning.

For even faster searches, you can set thetarget SWR to 2 (settable 1.0-2.0).

You can manually tune when you can’ttransmit (for listening out of ham bands).

Cross Needle and DigitalSWR/Watt Meters

Lighted Cross-Needle and digital meterslets you accurately read SWR, forward andreflected power at a glance.

An aural SWR meter lets you hear thetuned SWR when you can’t see or read themeters.

Turn on a highly visible, instant responseSWR LCD bargraph when you need it.

Backlit LCD DisplayAn easy-to-read backlit LCD displays

SWR, forward/reflected power, frequency,antenna 1/2, L/C tuner values, on/off indi-cators and other information.

Remote Control PortPlug in the MFJ-990RC, $39.95, remote

control and put your tuner at your antennaor elsewhere and control it remotely.

The MFJ-993 supports radio tuner inter-faces such as the ICOM 706 series.Interface cables are available.

The MFJ-993 is a compact 10Wx2¾Hx9D inches. Use 12 –15 VDC/1 amp or110 VAC with MFJ-1316, $19.95.
