Connection for MFJ-1020
 
I just ordered an MFJ-1020c for use with my 7600GR. Does anyone know
what cables, if any, come packaged with the antenna? MFJ has one of
the most useless websites I have found. If none do, what do you
recommend I use to build one?

Gary C. May 21st 04 08:26 AM

See the Manual on the website. For In and Out uses SO-239.

DEAN,

Build your own Patch Cord with a PL-259 Plug on one end and a
1/8" Mono-Phone-Plug on the other end.

* Screw-Type Solderless PL-259
RadioShack Catalog # 278-193

* 6' Shielded Cable
RadioShack Catalog # 42-2434
- 1/8" Mono-Phone Plug
- Other end is Stripped end
- Shielding preserves signal strength
and guards against interference, or "hum"
- Length 6 feet

Dean,
Is that the 'Indoor Active Antenna'? I'm looking at the Pop Comm and it says
MFJ-1020B----it has a 'B' though, is this it?

Almost like computer geeks but sorta in reverese maybe.

I'll be happy to let you know how it performs. I selected the 1020c
after reading the review in Passport. I intend to use it both with
the supplied antenna, and connected to a 50' random.

BTW, thanks to RHF for the RadioShack parts list. Cable's ready and
sitting beside a pile of 9v batteries. Now if the darn thing would
hurry up and get here!

Now I KNOW you're not talking about me, a 'geek'? I've been called a lot of
things, but not a geek.

That's a con-incidence...I was just rereading passport 2004 and read their
rave review of the 1020C, and they even said the previous model (1020B) had
some quality control problems. however, the full page in pop Comm. still
says 1020B...my guess is they just haven't updated their ad copy. I would be
sure to get the "C" version if ordering. Maybe they're up to the "D" by now!

JAY,

One of the small changes from the "B" Model to the "C" Model
was that now the new 'extended' AM/MW Broadcast Band is covered
by the 'B' Band [ 500 kHz to 1700 kHz ] of the MFJ-1020"C".
MFJ-1020C= http://www.mfjenterprises.com/produc...odid=MFJ-1020C
