MFJ TUNER

Hello Rob-

I have to say that you will be over the capable power limits of that tuner on some of the
bands-due to current/voltage nodes and impedance of the feed line and the collective
currents in the tuners components,I would get a Manuel MFJ tuner -say the 500w pep
model,any antenna that is designed for a certain freq. it will play on a few bands -but not
all-I would say this antenna will work on 80/60/40/and 20 mtrs-the components in that
antenna coupleris going to get warm/hot.

Paul K8PG I Have never had many problems with
MFJ/Ameritron eqp.with all new equipment
you must look at the build quality-before
the smoke test !
