Default MFJ autuner review, was Coax + Ladder Line

Dear N3LI: Might the MFJ model be 993?

Speaking of autotuners, I just got my MFJ933, and have been working with
it this last week. MFJ has an interesting reputation, but I have to say
they pretty much got this one right. For $224, it is one impressive piece
of hardware/programming.

I run my window line directly to the tuner, which was a big selling point.
NOt many other auto tuners have that feature.

Construction was quite acceptable, performance has been fine so far, and
appearance good with only one exception. One of the front panel's letters
had a little rub mark on it. No biggie, just cleaned it with an eraser.

The analog meter is a little small, but the whole unit would have to be
made bigger to put in a larger one, so that was a tradeoff. It also has
the digital readout, so I find myself looking at the analog meter for
initial reference on a frequency, then at the readout after that. It has a
lot of other features that I'm still learning.

I give the unit an A, at least on my experience so far.
