MFJ-998 automatic antenna tuner 1500 Watts - Review and Setup 

Thanks Bob. At first, I experiment similar problems that I found on the web and then found out that it was not set properly for my radio, so I made the correction and it works like a charm. It's been more than a year and this unit is great. I'm very happy my video was helpful. 73 Pascal VA2PV

Thanks Walery. 73 Pascal VA2PV

Hi Roman, great news. 73 Pascal VA2PV

Got inspired also by your cable management video....went ahead and fixed my wires and cables. Now its clean and tidy. Thank you for taking time making those videos. I'm also a Kenwood fan. 73!

Hi Roman, these type of comments are my paycheck, I do this for the hobby but video is now part of the hobby. I do videos about my projects, one after the other and I share the steps along the way. If it helps others, I'm happy. Thank you and 73, Pascal VA2PV

Hi Adam, Yes, it is an awesome tuner. When you have an amp everything gets more complicated, interference, antenna system, ground, AC power and the tuner! This one was a solution for me, a comfortable signal is important for me as I like to “ragchew” with my friends on 80 meters in the evening. It took me 10 years before I get an amp and I always been an HF fan. Your videos are good, the important thing is the effort of improving. Most people don’t do anything because they are afraid of what others would say, I always focus on positive comments and move forward. After more than 100 videos online I still make mistakes and some people notice even the smallest one, but it’s ok I move forward and I think I’m getting better, hihi. I also appreciate people who tells me that they notice a mistake, it helps me improved and if they take the time to tell me it's because they care. I wish that I had a better English, but this doesn’t stop me from making video ;-). For your video, maybe you can improve the screen orientation, always film sideways as TV and PC are in this way… for a better screen view. The other way is good for Facebook as people watch it most of the time on their mobile device. 73 Pascal VA2PV

Laboenligne.ca thank you for watching my videos. I just got a new webcam for the pc and it makes a world of difference. I also have recording software that lets my record my desktop too. This is fun to make videos and learn. 73 ad0am

Great news! As long that you're having fun, that's the most important part. 73

+KF8OD Thank you! 73

+KF8OD Thank you. 73

I'm sure you've figured it out by now, mine didn't start working properly until I removed the jumper

Hi John, yes it does look good. When we are dealing with a high-power it gets complicated, I guess there is no basic to start from as it all depends of the gears that comes in the loop. I received an email about this video from a wise operator saying, “there is no such thing as plug and play in our hobby as all the manufacturers used their own protocols to interact with their accessories”. Taking that into account, MFJ did an amazing job adapting the protocols for each manufacturer, so I guess it’s hard to keep it basics. Thanks for watching. 73 Pascal VA2PV

@@Laboenligne Yes, MFJ met that challenge amazingly well, much better than they other major tuner company.

Hi Raul, you connect it after your Amp (between the antenna and the amp). You will need the correct cable for your radio, you can make one or buy it from MFJ, the MFJ-5114A, for more information follow this link www.mfjenterprises.com/Product.php?productid=MFJ-5114A Consult your radio (page 92) and tuner manual to complete the setup. Hope this help. 73 Pascal VA2PV

Hi Donald, I never work on 6M maybe someday, but yes adding this band on the tuner would have been great. For the SB-221, mine is like new as it was built yesterday. My friend Claude VE2BUB (the technician in my documentary, see the link below) tune up this amp for me, at first, I didn’t like the green look, but it works so well that I don’t care, hihi. 73 and thanks for watching.

I've heard some of their tuners will work on 6 meters, but the frequency won't be displayed properly.

My 993 auto, tunes 6 m just fine

Didn't find any and it was not installed. It's a very common computer jumper. 73 Pascal VA2PV

Mine came with a jumper attached to only one of the pins.

So short story reading the two replies, one with a jumper in the box and one without, take the cover off and check! My Icom does not want the jumper.
