MFJ-212 MatchMaker ™
Introduction
This new MFJ-212 MatchMaker ™ lets you tune up your antenna tuner without
transmitting a single milliwatt! You can't cause QRM - there's no radiated power.
You can precisely tune your antenna tuner for a
1:1 SWR - no additional
"tweaking" needed.
Protect your tranceiver and antenna tuner. Avoid dangerous overheating and
arcing caused by high SWR and long tune-ups. It's easy to use. Plugs between
your tranceiver and antenna tuner.
Adjust your tuner for a null in receiver noise by ear or by S-meter and you have
1:1 SWR !
Tuning noise is modulated to make it easy to recognize.
And if you accidentally transmit, you won't burn up your MFJ-212
MatchMaker ™. MFJ's exclusive RF*Guard™ automatically bypasses your MFJ-
212 to prevent damage. Works with all tranceivers from 160 through 6 meters.
