25-151 MFJ-986 Differential Tuner 3KW
Note - Meter needs to be re-glued
- New belt needs to be installed.
The MFJ-986 roller inductor tuner is a 3000 watt PEP input, 1500 watt PEP output antenna tuner. These power ratings are for load impedances of 35-500 ohms. The MFJ-986 is designed to match 50 ohm output amplifiers, transmitters or transceivers to virtually any antenna. Peak and average forward power, reflected power, and SWR are displayed on the MFJ-986's illuminated cross-needle meter.
The MFJ-986 Differential-T 3kW Tuner uses a differential capacitor to make tuning easy. It continuously tunes all frequencies from 1.8 through 30 MHz, including MARS and all the WARC bands. It will match dipoles, inverted-vee's, verticals, mobile whips, beams, random wires, and many other antennas. The roller inductor lets you tune down your SWR to the absolute minimum. The MFJ- 986 also features a peak reading cross-needle, SWR/Wattmeter, and a new current balun that will work with balanced open wire, twinlead, or twin-axial feedlines.
An internal six position antenna-selector switch selects two coaxial line outputs, a single wire line- balanced line output, or an external dummy load connection. The coaxial line outputs can be selected in tuned (with tuner's matching network in line) or direct (no matching circuit) configurations.
