MFJ and related Items For Sale:
Wattmeter, TNC/Microphone switch box, Wall Wart power
supplies, Speakers, speaker microphones, Coaxial cable,
connectors, and more


MFJ 815 B Cross Needle Peak Reading HF Wattmeter:

The MFJ-815B cross-needle meter allows you to monitor both
forward and reflected power, and SWR simultaneously. There
are buttons to select either Peak or Average reading and
power ranges of 200/2000 watts forward and 50/500 watts
reflected. Frequency coverage is 1.8 to 60 MHz, so it covers
6 meters in addition to the HF bands, making it ideal for
some of the new rigs that include 6 meters.
The peak reading function of this meter and meter light
require external 12 V DC.

This particular unit works fine, and looks very close to new.
With paper work for $65.


MFJ 1272 BX switch to transfer between microphone and TNC:

MFJ made these so it would be easy to use a TNC such as the AEA 
PK-232.  The small box has a socket to plug your microphone into on 
the front, along with a switch to switch between mic or TNC.  There 
are two cables coming out of the back, with one going to the mic jack 
on your rig, and other going to your TNC.  There is also provisions 
for receive audio in, and an external speaker. No power is required. 
Inside the box is a series of jumpers, so that it can be configured 
for any rig.  Paper work is included that shows how to set the jumpers 
for most of the common rigs (Kenwood, Yaesu, Icom, Alinco, etc.).

MFJ 1272 BX - Designed for the round 8 pin microphone connector
and the AEA PK-232

It works fine and looks close to new.  $30


"Wall Wart" Power Supplies:

All of these are "regular" wall warts -- not the new
switching type that create all sort of noise in your
receiver. Get one of these, and leave the noise behind.

MFJ 1312 B
This unit provides 12 V DC at 300 ma. It has a 2.1 mm
coaxial plug with the center positive, and is often used
for keyers, lighting tuner lights, and other small misc
jobs where 12 V DC at low current is needed. $12

Heathkit "Converter Charger"
9 Volts DC at up to 100 ma.
No Heath number on this, and I don't know what it was used
on.  It has a 2.5 mm male plug on it, with the tip positive,
so it can be used on many devices.  $10

This one was used on a MFJ 422 keyer, but will also power
other items needing 9 V DC at low current. It has a
2.5 mm male plug on it. $12

This unit supply 12 V DC at up to 1 amp.
It can be used with the AEA PK-232, PK-88 or others.

positive, so it can be used on many different
things that require about 12 V DC at up to an amp,
such as keyers, antenna tuners, etc. $14

This one is about 4 inches square but only about 2 inches
deep. It is rated for 5 watts, has an 8 ohm impedance, and
is listed as a 300 to 3000 Hz frequency response, making it
ideal for communications. It has a 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) mono
plug, and black in color, looks great, and sounds great. $18
