Hi Trippy, ac8s,
     Well, good news. I managed to find a way to get the pdf manual for your
antenna tuner. Then I converted it to a text file. It looks like the
conversion went well. Now then, The list server won't let me send an
attachment, and it says that when I paste the manual in to the body of an
E-Mail that the message is twice as long as the maximum message length
allowed. So, this is what I need you to do for me. Could you shoot me an
E-Mail at:
[log in to unmask]
Then, I can send the manual to you directly. There is light at the end of
the tunnel.

God bless,
Mark

God Loves you!

Hi Mark,
Wow, Thanks, for this!
If you can do this, you'll have done plenty for me!
Here's the link to the actual page for the mfj 949E!
http://www.mfjenterprises.com/support.php?productid=3DMFJ-949E
Now on that page, you'll see some text that says,
"Product User Manual", and below that text, is a link which says
*MFJ-949E.pdf
That's the link you want to click on, and you'll then be able to =
download the .pdf file of the user manual!
Thank you so much for this!
73,
Trippy, ac8s

  Hi Trippy,
       Well, there isn't much I can do about most of the things you =
mentioned.
  However, If you can connect me up with that PDF manual, I will try to =
get it
  in accessible format for you. I wish I could do more.

  God bless,
  Mark

  Hi all,
  Well, folks, here's how far I've gotten with getting on hf, I have =3D
  not!!!
  First, I still can't use the handiham remote base. The software won't =
=3D
  respond.
  2nd. Echo link is, well, who knows how I can get that to work.
  I couldn't get them my license on Thursday night, because my number =
=3D
  wasn't in the stupid phone book, my number. So, I couldn't validate =
via =3D
  telephone.
  I tryed to fax it, and the cover page, and they didn't get the cover =
=3D
  page!
  So, then, tonight, I tryed to upload the file, and the .....s you fill =
=3D
  in the blanks, did not and would not, accept, a text file, which I =3D
  scanned.  They only want a .jpg, a .png, or a .tif, file.
  So, now I have to get my friend, Rick, wo8m, to fax the cover page and =
=3D
  the license, all over, again!
  3rd. There is another hf remote base, which is ran by kb8zgl, and he =
=3D
  said I can use it with skype, and I don't have to use echo link.
  However, it's so damn complicated to use. He says Rick, can help me, =
=3D
  since he can see it.
  That's really great for a blind person!
  The key commands are so damn confusing!
  4th. The mfj 949E antenna tuner. I got the tuner, but we can't get on =
=3D
  the balcony to do anything with the antenna we have up and try to tune =
=3D
  it, since they just coated the balcony with varnish, or whatever the =
=3D
  he.. they use for outside coating, till Monday, and even after we can =
do =3D
  that Monday night, folks, I just went to the mfj enterprizes web site, =
=3D
  and downloaded the manual for the 949E, and it's a pdf. So, I thought, =
=3D
  ok, I'll just convert this to a word file, or, to a text file.
  Not so fast! My computer froze up 2 times when I tryed to open it in =
=3D
  Adobe, and I couldn't convert it to anything to read, and like I said, =
I =3D
  couldn't open the damn thing in the pdf format!
  So, I have no idea what I'm doing, after I disable the autotuner on =
the =3D
  570!
  I know the antenna plugs into the tuner, but I have to plug the jumper =
=3D
  cable which goes from the tuner to the 570, and I thought I'd be able =
to =3D
  read the manual to tell me how to do it! I use to have the kenwood =3D
  ts120, and loved that rig, and there was no auto tuner. So, I just =3D
  connected the jumper cable from the antenna tuner to the antenna plug =
on =3D
  the back of the 120.
  5th. No ride for field day! I got a call from a guy who said he'd get =
=3D
  transportation for me to field day, so, I called him back and left a =
=3D
  message, and no call back. I just wonder if he'll do it or not, since =
=3D
  the hams in this town are all talk and no action!
  I'm not gonna chase him, I don't play the chase game. I don't know if =
=3D
  any of you do, but I won't play that game. When someone says they'll =
=3D
  call ya back, they need to call ya back.
  I swear something doesn't want me on hf ever again!
  And don't mention 2 meters, that's not working either!
  So, I wonder if I'm the only one not on the air today?
  73,
  Trippy, ac8s, who just doesn't think anything will ever change
