I noticed this morning the flag was torn and shredded. I have taken it down when we had higher winds had exceed the 15 MHP. It has been flying on most days in 5 to 15 MPH winds. The SWR is on these bands is 1.0 – 1.3, so I would expect good performance if I had more power.Īt this point in time the only negative I have to report is the flag. Not much of an night owl so I don’t get very much of a change to use the antenna on 40 – 160 meters. I have done some work on 40 meters but not much. Most of my contacts have been 10 MHz – 28 MHZ. I am using a SGC 230 tuner mounted at the base of the antenna All of my contacts have been made on 70 – 100 watts. SSB has been good with good signal reports depending on propagation. Have done a lot of FT4 and FT8 with good reports. The DX into Europe and Africa has been good. The SWR on most band has been =< 1.5 except the 12 meter band. The performance of the antenna has been very good. I installed the antenna in the back yard in the HOA and have not had any complaints.

The install was easy with only a couple of small issues that were easily resolved by just thinking things through. I installed the flagpole the end of January here at my home in central Florida. I purchase a 20’ Flagpole antenna that also included the 4’ extension. MFJ has seen 2-week to 3-month delays at times. LDG stopped producing their higher power remote tuners completely. We only charge the card when we ship. Note that ALL Tuner Manufacturers have seen slower production levels since March 2020. Order an MFJ Remote Tuner with a DX Flagpole Antenna or HF Vertical antenna and get a special bundle discount. We think this is a good option for the price. We've been hearing good things about MFJ honoring warranties in regard to quickly repairing products where appropriate. If the antenna impedance is outside the tuner’s measurement range, MFJ’s AdaptiveSearch algorithm measures the frequency and determines only relevant component values - which are then searched for fast tuning.Īs always, with high power, consider double-checking your radio station grounding plans and always follow the ARRL RF Guidelines. If not, MFJ’s IntelliTune algorithm (based on MFJ’s efficient SWR Analyzer technology) measures the impedance, snaps the necessary components in place, and then fine-tunes the SWR. When you key your transmitter, MFJ’s InstantRecall checks to see if that frequency has been used before. The MFJ-998RT automatic radio antenna tuner instantly matches impedances from 12-1600 Ohms using MFJ’s exclusive IntelliTune, AdaptiveSearch and InstantRecall algorithms with over 20,000 Virtual Antenna Memories.

Large and in charge - tough ABS plastic cabinet and stainless steel metal chassis measures 13 3/4W x 6 3/4H x 17 1/2D inches.

Remote IntelliTuner handles legal limit power CW/SSB. MFJ’s 1500 Watt remote automatic antenna tuner is built into a weather-tight ABS plastic cabinet top with a stainless steel bottom. In any case, those listed here are great with our antennas! Remember, have fun and we will see you On The Air! We hope you'll educate yourself and choose the right tuner for your needs. Others prefer a premium brand and we offer tuners from around $200 to $3000 and there are good reasons to choose either end of the budget spectrum. The MFJ and LDG remote tuners offer compelling price points and work great with our antennas. Rest easy, our engineer reassures us all that tuners are pretty hard to get wrong. We realize many customers have concerns with certain brands and quality. Greyline Performance, Home of the 'DX Flagpole' and OCF vertical-dipole radio antennas offer the remote tuners our customers use most, as tried and true!
