[Icom] MFJ

[John Geiger]

I must be unique or lucky in that almost every MFJ
product I have ever purchased has worked fine.  That
includes several antenna tuners, and a keyer.  Being
on a limited budget while a student for the first 18
years of my ham career they helped fill the gap when I
couldn't drop $400 to get a Nye Viking antenna tuner. 
Did by a Murch tuner once a couple of years ago. 
Piece of junk.  It couldn't load up stuff that the MFJ
did easily.  Well, to each his own.  Back to HF with
my FT100D and MFJ 941D tuner!
