And they both have bypass switches (important). I own both and use them for mobile use.
Thanks

Can the meter be be adjusted on the PDC5? Reason why is that I have a Roadpro SWR/power meter and the meter can't be zeroed(bummer).
You would have to take the covers off, and locate the adjustment screw on the meter. I've never had a zero-adjustment issue with that meter.

It's not a bad little tuner, but kinda blows that it doesn't have a tuned bypass switch.
"Tuned bypass switch"??? Okay,you got me on that cause I don't understand the terminology. I did find a link to a mod that installs a homemade bypass switch tough.

Allows you to switch the tuner in or out of the circuit. The MFJ-945E has this:
This is the tuner I use for all my low power (under 300W) applications.
Installing an aftermarket "tune-bypass" switch might be problematic. Use one of these: MFJ-1705H Bypass Swich
The "tuned" part is what I didn't understand. I thought I might do this later to it> MFJ-971 Antenna Tuner ModAllows you to switch the tuner in or out of the circuit. The MFJ-945E has this:

Thanks. Just bought the bypass!
Tune a tower
Just a thought. Since the MFJ-971 has a random wire connection,I wonder if just for fun and experimenting,if I run a wire from the tuner's radon wire lug to my tower,would it tune that? Any comments?

Tune a fish if I have to
Thanks. Reason why is that I'm not going to unfurl my vector 4000 til after I move but want something more than a K40 antenna on the roof. :O
