MFJ-949E


If you need a tuner it will work.

IF you may sometime in the future think about adding an amplifier then this tuner is limited in wattage handling capabilities.

40 meters and below it really helps to have a few hundred watts, you may think about a legal limit tuner for power handling capabilities.

QTH.COM has some good used equipment in its classified section.
You should be able to pick up a used one for about the price of this one new.
 
I put one of these into my set up a few weeks back, amazing results. Was able to get nice true measurements of wattage out and the cross meter and dials allow to zero in on a good SWR. Plus built in dummy load is great. It was expensive but worth it to me after hooking up. Only down side is the wattage allowed is fairly low at 300.

That's 300 PEP MAX...maybe 150w of carrier or more and your asking for failure...
MFJ tuners wattage levels are way OVERRATED....
I have most likely repaired at least 8 or 10 of those because inductor switches /wattmeter diodes and main inductors(coils) were toast because of some 100-200 watt rigs smoked them...
