The Basics 

 

Introduction 

 
The  MFJ-926B  HF  Automatic  Remote  Antenna  Tuner,  the 

IntelliTuner

TM

,  lets  you  rapidly  tune  any 

antenna  automatically:  unbalanced  or  single-wire.    MFJ's  exclusive 

InstantRecall

TM

IntelliTune

TM

  and 

AdaptiveSearch

TM

  algorithms  give  you  fast  automatic  tuning  with  more  than  2500  non-volatile 

VirtualAntenna

TM

 memories.  . 

 
The tuner includes a highly efficient switching L-network with wide matching capability, 1.8 to 30 MHz 
coverage,  a  radio  interface  port,  and  heavy-duty  10  amp/1000  volt  relays.    It  is  rated  at  200  watts 
SSB/CW. 
 
A  maximum  of  256  values  of  inductance  and  256  values  of  capacitance  are  available.    With  the 
capacitance  switched  between  the  input  and  output  side,  this  provides  a  total  of  131,072  L/C  tuning 
combinations.  The nominal tuning ranges are 0 to 24 

µ

H and 0 to 3900 pF. 

 
The  MFJ-926B 

IntelliTuner

TM 

learns  and  remembers.    When  you  transmit,  it  automatically  adjusts  for 

minimum  SWR  and  remembers  the  frequency  and  tuner settings, safely stored in non-volatile memory.  
The  next  time  you  operate  on  that  frequency  (or  close to it), the MFJ-926B tuner settings are instantly 
restored and you’re ready to operate in milliseconds.   
 
When you key your transmitter, MFJ’s 

InstantRecall

TM

 checks its memory to see if you have operated on 

that  frequency  before.    If  so,  tuning  is  instantaneous  and  you’re  ready  to  operate.    If  not,  MFJ’s 

IntelliTune

TM

  algorithm  (based  on  MFJ’s famous SWR Analyzer technology) kicks in.  It measures the 

complex impedance of your antenna.  Next, it calculates the components it needs and instantly snaps them 
in.  Finally, it fine-tunes to minimize SWR, and you’re ready to operate--all in a fraction of a second. 
 
If  the  antenna  impedance  is  not  within  the  tuner’s  measurement  range,  MFJ’s 

AdaptiveSearch

TM

 

algorithm goes into action.  Frequency is measured and relevant components values are determined.  Only 
those  values  are  searched  for  fast  tuning.    If  it  still  cannot  find  a  match,  the  search  is performed again 
using a different search pattern. 
 
The  tuners  enter  a  “sleep”  mode  when  idle  and  when  no  transmit  signal  is  present,  turning  off  the 
microprocessor clock to avoid the generation of spurious signals.
