So how much are these MFJ critters and you really find that blind 
folks can use them? I'm still on the fence about getting or or 
not.  I mean if your amp and rig are happy feeding into a tuner 
that feeds into a relatively non-resonant antenna, then what's 
the point? I think the focus should be to get your antenna's 
resonant where you want them to be right? Jim WA6EKS

Subject: Re: Question about accessible antenna tuners

This thread was from  a week or so ago, and I gave some bad info 
I want
to correct.

For Tom and anyone else using or thinking of the MFJ-998 auto 
tuner.

It turns out the mode button is only for getting into the setup 
menus.

To change between auto and semi-auto modes:  Press both the "ant" 
and
"tune" buttons at the same time.  Ant is top row leftmost, and 
tune is
top row rightmost buttons.

Single beep for auto mode and 2 beeps for semi-auto.

I don't use this setting very often, and don't know where I got 
the bum
info from.     It seems that using the word  "mode" to refer to 
both the
menus, and also to refer to the types of tuner operation is a bit 
much.

Sorry for the bad info.  Hope nobody  smoked any gear.
