Guys and girls, how much is the MFJ-998? I've have heard it's 
around $560.  Is this about what to expect to pay for this tuner? 
Thanks, Merry Christmas to all, and 73, Jim WA6EKS

Richard:

In addition to the Kenwood interface cable, there is a separate 
DC power
cord for the MFJ 998.  That additional power cord should come 
with your
unit.  And, you will need a DC power source to power the tuner.

With everything connected properly, the MFJ 998 will not operate 
unless your
rig is turned on.

I hope this is stated clearly.  If not, please ask, and I'll try 
again.

Hi!



I have purchased an MFJ-998 auto tuner.  It does not come with 
the separate
power supply for it, the MFJ-1316.  However, I plan to use the 
rig interface
cable for it, the MFJ-5114K for my Kenwood TS-2000.  So, 1) does 
the
interface cable provide enough power to the MFJ-998 while the 
TS-2000 is
powered on, and also 2) if the TS-2000 is not powered on can I 
still turn on
the MFJ-998 and adequately operate it (e.g., manipulate its 
menus)?
