Thanks Steve, the 994 tuner is much cheaper than the 998 because 
it's built to only handle 600 watts which is what I have.  They 
also have an interface cable for many  of the Kenwood rigs.  Jim

Subject: Re: Fw: MFJ 994b tuner?

The 998  has the same thing.  It's pretty clunky and I don't use 
it
myself.  It needs to be set in one of the menus.

I don't know if the 994 does it different, but in the 998, a 
single beep
is for  swr between 1.0 and 1.5, 2 beeps for 1.5 up to 2.0, 3 
beeps for
2.0 up to 2.5, and 4 beeps from 2.5 through 3.0.   Don't remember 
what
happens above 3.0, maybe smoke and flames.

 Lloyd, I tried to send this to the list, but I think it's only
 coming to you.  If you don't mind, could you forward it to the
 list? Jim  WA6EKS
 Hi list, I have just heard about another tuner from MFJ, it's 
the
 MFJ-994B tuner which says it has some kind of audio feedback to
 indicate SWR.  Does anyone know about it tuner? 73, Jim WA6EKs
