Antenna Tuners and related For Sale:

.

MFJ 986, High Power HF Antenna Tuner For Sale:

The MFJ 986 Differential-T Tuner uses a differential
capacitor that makes tuning easier than ever. It gives
minimum SWR at only one setting. Broadband coverage
ends constant re-tuning. The MFJ-986 has a rugged roller
inductor. The antenna tuner handles 1500 Watts PEP SSB.
It tunes 1.8 to 30 MHz continuously, including MARS
and WARC bands.

The 3-digit turns counter plus a spinner knob gives
precise inductance control so you can quickly retune
to your frequency. A large lighted peak and average
reading Cross-Needle meter shows SWR, forward
and reflected power at a single glance! A 6-position
antenna switch lets you select two coax lines and/or
random wires, balanced line or external dummy load.

This one works fine and looks very close to new.
Paper work is included for $200.

.

MFJ 969 Roller Inductor Antenna Tuner For Sale:

The 969 covers 160 thru 6 meters continuously with
the roller inductor, so is ideal for MARS as well as
normal ham use. This tuner will handle 300 watts,
and includes a "cross needle" SWR/Wattmeter with
a nice back light feature, and a built in dummy load.
It also has a built in antenna switch that allows
for switching of up two coaxial fed antennas, a
balanced antenna, or the internal dummy load.
It also allows for bypassing the tuner.

The wattmeter will read either average or peak
power (with circuitry to actual measure peak).
A 4:1 balun is included inside.

The wattmeter, antenna switch, and dummy load are
worth the cost, even if you do not need the tuner!

This particular tuner works 100%, and looks extremely
nice. The multi color lexan front panel looks perfect.
Paper work is included for $125.

.

HF Mobile Antenna Matchers For Sale:

HF mobile antennas, by their nature, are shortened
versions of the normal quarter wave vertical. As a
result, they often exhibit lower impedences than we
would like. These impedences should be matched for
best efficiency. Most of the time, we tune the HF
mobile antenna for best SWR, and assume that a 50
ohm match is the resonant point. That is rarely the
case. The new antenna analyzers show us where
resonance actually exists and what the impedence
actually is. Marching this impedence to 50 ohms
gets us to maximum efficiency.

Both of these units have SO-239 connectors in and out.

MFJ 910 Mobile Antenna Matcher
Six different positions to match.
Works fine. Shows its use.
With paper work for $20.

Unknown manufacture
Similar to above, but has 11 positions of matching.
Works fine. Looks OK. $20

.

SWR Bridges For Sale:

All have SO-239 connectors, in and out.

Midland 23-138 Dual Meter SWR Bridge
Power meter on left and SWR meter on the right, with the
"set" knob in the middle.
This one works fine, and looks fine as well.
In original box, for only $25.

Quement SWB-3 Dual Meter SWR Bridge
Similar to Midland above, with separate power and SWR meters.
Power meter is fine, but SWR meter has a defect on the face.
It looks like maybe a solder iron hit it, but it works fine.
$12

Hawk H-3000 SWR Bridge
This HF SWR bridge is relatively small, so would be ideal
for mobile or portable use. Looks and works fine. $15

.
