second settle down and third the mfj tuner wil also have a switch to select which oax ports you are using if you don't want the tuner will take it lol that or the auto tuner if you want to throw it away throwi tmy way lol
you wil gt it fiugred out i wil work and the liklihod of a bad tuner is very very minimal
