Hi, folks.

Well, as a first step to improving my set-up here at the new home QTH, I'm 
seriously considering the purchase of a better manual tuner than the MFJ 
901B versatuner that I now have.

I'm looking for a tuner that will handle more than 100 watts, since I 
eventually may  purchase some sort of an amp.  I'm also looking for a 
blind-friendly manual tuner with a bypass switch.

I have been corresponding with one of the guys from HRO in Denver, and he 
recommends two possibilities.  They are:

The MFJ-986 (at $349.95) and
the MFJ-989 (at $389.95).

Have any of you guys had experience with either of these tuners?  Are there 
similarly-priced models of better quality that I should also check into?

Thanks, and 73 from Tom Behler:  KB8TYJ, Louisville, CO
