MFJ-1924 Screwdriver Antenna Controller

[@KD9ZHF]

What are you going to do now with your MFJ-1924 if it breaks now that MFJ is basically closing most of it's operations?

[@StealthGTI]

MFJ is only closing their manufacturing facilities. They still plan to sell existing inventory and maintain their repair facilities for a while. Hopefully, someone will buy some of their more popular product lines and keep them alive. If not, I know I can find other options. For example, "TuneMatic" has a simple controller that I could buy, should I need a replacement. Thanks for visiting!

Hi, Do you know if this is compatible with the ATAS 120A

[@StealthGTI]

No, it's not. The ATAS-120A uses unconventional "up-down" voltages, something to the effect of 11V to go up and 9V to go down. It's made to interface with key Yaesu radios, but there are interfaces available that work with other radios or tuners. However, I know nothing about them. Thanks for visiting!

Thanks for that info. Much appreciated.

Think it's so frustating have an "auto tuner" for screwdriver antenna and need to "downgrade" to manual controller...

[@StealthGTI]

I don't consider it a downgrade at all. Yes, the automatic unit was a letdown in my application, but I think the 1924 is excellent for what it does. Thanks for visiting!
