Hi Eric,

There is an accessibility review of the MFJ 1026 on the Active Elements site
at:

http://active-elements.org/2013/01/04/mfj-1026/

It is very similar to the 1025, and might give you some tips for operating.
The manual suggests one method which involves making a note of visual signal
strengths, but the audio method explained in the demo is, I think, easier
for a blind op to manage.  There is also an MP3 recording of the manual on
the page.

Best wishes, Kelvin Marsh - M0AID

Subject: antenna noise cancellation - first report

well,

I am trying out the MFJ-1025 as my antenna noise cancellation unit. So =
far, its tricky trying to adjust it for minimum noise in the receive. I =
have been able to filter a lot of the wide band noise, though some (like =
powerline burst noise) is a little harder to null out. THis is probably =
going to take a while before I get the knack for it. Still, at $169.00 =
from AES, its not a bad deal.
