Thanks, Zack. Tomorrow morning I'm going to drop the radio off with my elmer. He's going to keep it for a few days and try to figure out why I can't get it to low power for tuning. Chris |

Need some help with MFJ-925 auto tuner ... | speedmaster | on 15/5/12 |
Hey, guys. I'm a new ham. I got a used Alinco DX-70 setup in my kitchen. I bought a 6m-40m dipole and have it strung outside the kitchen window. Between the two I have an MFJ 925 antenna tuner ( http://www.mfjenterprises.com/Product.php?productid=MFJ-925 ). I haven't had much luck getting it to work. Almost every time I attempt to transmit on any HF band it beeps "QRP" back to me in CW, which I think means it wants a lower power. I can't get the radio to drop to low power so I whisper so that the radio is only pulling a few watts. Then the tuner's green light comes on telling me I think that we have a good tuned SWR. But when I then go to transmit at full power the tuner starts beeping "QRP" at me in CW again. I did reset the radio and MFJ tuner to factory settings, but it hasn't helped. Any ideas? Thanks very much in advance, Chris http://www.pretenseofknowledge.com/ |
