Default About MFJ-949E Deluxe Versa Tuner II

Is the model description you give correct, or have you combined two models,
the MFJ949E and the (Deluxe) Versatuner II (MFJ969 IIRC)?

The '949E uses a switched coil, and the '969 uses a roller inductor, IMHO a
pretty poor roller inductor that uses insulating material that softens when
it is hot and makes the tuner prone to serious damage under some poor
operating conditions.
