Now I'm torn. ... When I can afford a new automatic antenna tuner,
should I get this one or the matching Elecraft one? Check this out:
The MFJ-993 IntelliTuner lets you tune any antenna automatically
balanced or unbalanced - - ultra fast. Its a comprehensive
automatic
antenna tuning center complete with SWR/Watt-meter, antenna switch
for
two antennas and 4:1 current balun for balanced lines.
MFJs exclusive IntelliTuner, Adaptive Search and InstantRecall
algorithms give you ultra fast automatic tuning with over 2000
non-volatile revolving memories. You get a highly efficient
L-network,
wide 6-1600 ohm matching at full 300 Watts SSB/150 Watts CW,
1.8-30
MHz coverage, 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 fun
As youre ragchewing, contesting or DXing, your MFJ-993 is
learning!
When you transmit, the MFJ-993 automatically tunes for minimum SWR
and
remembers your frequency and tuner settings. The next time you
operate
on that frequency and antenna, these tuner settings are instantly
restored and youre ready to operate in milliseconds!
Each of two antennas can learn and remember over a thousand
frequencies and tuner settings. They are safely stored in
non-volatile
revolving memory.
Highly Intelligent ultra fast tuning
MFJs InstantRecall first checks its memory to see if you have operated
this frequency before. If so, tuning is instantaneous and you re
ready
to operate. If not, MFJ's IntelliTuner algorithm - - based on
MFJ's
famous SWR Analyzer technology - - kicks in. It measures the
complex
impedance of your antenna. Next, it calculates the components it
needs
and instantly snaps them in. Then, it fine tunes to minimize SWR
--
youre ready to operate. Its all done in a fraction of a second.
When the impedance is within its measurement range, the MFJ-993 is
the
fastest automatic antenna tuner in the world.
If it cant accurately determine impedance, MFJs AdaptiveSearch
algorithm goes into action. Frequency is measured and relevant
components values are determined. Only those values are searched
for
ultra-fast tuning.
For even faster searches, you can set the target SWR to 2
(settable
1.0-2.0). You can manually tune when you cant transmit (for
listening
out of ham bands).
Cross Needle and Digital SWR/Watt Meters
Lighted Cross-Needle and digital meters lets you accurately read
SWR,
forward and reflected power at a glance. An aural SWR meter lets
you
hear the tuned SWR when you cant see or read the meters. Turn on
a
highly visible, instant response SWR LCD bargraph when you need
it.
[...]
Yeah, how 'bout that...aural SWR meter built in...can't beat that with
a stick, eh?
