It at the lowest inductance if I understand your description. The rolling
tap has shorted out the inductor at that point.

I'm tuning up a dipole with the 989c, using it for the first time in
several years.

Does maximum inductance occur with the reference counter at 000, and
minimum inductance at 125?

The MFJ manual I downloaded contradicts itself on this point, and I'd
like to get it clear.

There are two configurations of MFJ-949E. The only way to tell the
difference is pop the lid. Probably the same for the 989c.

Okay, popped the lid.

One end of the roller inductor is grounded, as is the rolling tap. The
other end of the inductor connects to the variable capacitors. When
the counter registers "000", the rolling tap is at the end of the
inductor connected to the caps. This would be maximum inductance?
