I currently have a K3/KPA500/MFJ998 set-up. I used a MFJ-994B with an
ALS-600 for several years. A couple of years ago I upgraded to a MFJ-998 as
it has a built-in amp-disable feature when tuning. I do like these
autotuners and I have reviews of both in the "Product Review" section of my
website at www.ad5x.com. To me, the disadvantage of the MFJ tuners is that
they do not work on 6-meters and the bypassed SWR of the tuners is high on
6-meters. Therfore you must completely physically bypass the MFJ tuners
when operating on 6-meters (I do this with antenna switches).
