Hi!
I have the following two initial questions as I begin to setup my MFJ-998:
1( How do I toggle between a) bypass mode and b) not bypassed mode? I read
in the manual that the 998 powers-on in bypass mode. The manual also says
Press [TUNE] quickly (less than 0.5 second) to bypass the tuner (one beep
indicates bypass mode), and that a second quick press toggles the tuner back
to its last L/C setting (indicated with two beeps). When I press the [Tune]
button once, indeed I hear one beep. However, when I press [Tune] again, I
do not hear two beeps but instead only hear one beep. What is the "L/C
setting"? Does that mean it is no longer in bypass mode?
2) The manual says that a single-wire antenna is by default "Antenna 1." I
do not use a single-wire antenna, but instead use a coax-fed antenna. I
have that coax connected to the 998's SO-239 "Antenna 1" connection, and
nothing connected to the 998's single-wire binding post. Does this make the
SO-239 "Antenna 1" the default "Antenna1" and not the single-wire antenna,
or is there more I need to do to make it so?
