MFJ-962D MFJ962D MFJ-962 Original MFJ Enterprises 1.8-30 MHz Versa Tuner III AirCore Roller Inductor Antenna Tuner - Handles 1500 Watts PEP SSB Amplifier Input Power - Covers Mars & WARC Bands

This thing is awesome lays down flat SWR from 10m to 160. No problem

For Starters, While Removing the Antenna Tuner Out of the Box It Sounded like a Screw was loose inside the Tuner. Then While Turning the Inductor Knob, it Became Very Stiff & Difficult to turn. Once it Turned, I Heard & Felt a SNAP approximately Halfway Through/Down the Coil. Also, The Number Readout/Display did NOT Keep Accurate Count. It was as if it was SKIPING. Then Finally After Correctly Tuning the Tuner at LOW Wattage power I increased the Input Wattage. Shortly after I increased the Wattage Power to the Antenna Tuner, I increased the power input to 700 Watts, I heard a POP! Shortly after that I Could Smell that Something Burning. SMOKE Started coming out of the Cracks of the Tuner! I Could Also See Flashes of Light Behind the Inductor Coil Counter. MFJ needs to get their Production STUFF (You Know What) Together!:(

built a rife ray machine around this device.works very well,easy to adjust,does everything the company advertises. though it wasn't designed to light up a large plasma tube.it does it very well for years now,w/o fail.

Arrived today and I immediately noticed a rattling sound before I opened the box. I opened the box and the tuner was just wrapped in bubble wrap so I suspect I have been charged a new price for a used item. I picked up the tuner and a screw fell out of the case! Stuff was still rattling around inside so I opened the case and out fell 3 nuts and some metal flakes(see photo)! Good thing I didn't just hook it up and blast 800 watts into it. This is very, very poor workmanship and is the last time I will buy anything from MFJ or Hamcity. I blame Hamcity for not checking out the rattling sound when it was in their warehouse. It should have been pulled from stock and returned to MFJ for investigation. But I guess Hamcity's priority is "get it out the door, make the sale", sloppy, sloppy.I will use it now that I have properly checked it out and vacuumed the interior but MFJ and Hamcity are off my list.

So far I love this tuner. This works so much better than my first tuner.

Roller inductor was very rough and the roller did not follow the wire when turning adjustable knob. I had it repaired locally.Sucks buying something new and it's not working but less hassle than returning.Mfj should mean "mother F***** junk" lol

This is a high quality tuner. I have not applied over a half kW through it so I can't speak to operation near the full power handling capacity of 1.5kW. This is the third MFJ tuner I own and all of them work well and as expected.

I had problems with the unit causing an unusually high erratic swr after moving it to a new location. I troubleshooted all the equipment. I opened up the meter and a piece of cut silver wire 1 and 3/4 inches long fell out. Now the meter works ok. Buyer beware, MFJ quality control, thank God I wasn't running any power at the time!
