U20482 Used MFJ Versa Tuner V MFJ-989D Legal Power Antenna Tuner 1.8-30MHz

This pre-owned MFJ-989D Versa Tuner V is in good overall working and cosmetic condition, showing typical surface nicks, light scratches, and edge wear on the painted metal cabinet from normal shack use. The front faceplate is crisp and clean, with all switch selections, capacitor knobs, the roller inductor crank, and cross-needle meter movements functioning smoothly.

The MFJ-989D Versa Tuner V is MFJ's flagship high-power manual antenna tuner, designed to handle up to 1,500 watts PEP SSB/CW across the entire 1.8 to 30 MHz range, including WARC and MARS allocations. Utilizing a heavy-duty "T" matching network with two large 500 pF air-variable capacitors and an AirCore roller inductor with a 3-digit turns counter, it provides precise, repeatable impedance matching for virtually any antenna system. It features a large illuminated TrueActive cross-needle SWR/wattmeter, an internal 300-watt dummy load for quick transmitter testing, a built-in current balun for balanced feedlines, and a versatile 6-position ceramic antenna selector switch.

Condition

• Cosmetic Condition: Good pre-owned condition. The outer black cabinet displays normal signs of prior use, including small edge nicks and superficial finish scuffs. The Lexan front panel remains clean and clearly legible.

• Mechanical & Operational: Knobs turn smoothly, the turns counter advances reliably with the crank handle, and the front selector switches click firmly into position.

• Rear Terminals: All rear SO-239 connectors, heavy ceramic high-voltage feedthrough insulators, and grounding wing nuts are intact and in solid condition.

Key Features

• Legal Limit Power Handling: Rated for 1,500 Watts PEP continuous coverage from 160 meters through 10 meters (1.8–30 MHz).

• Precision AirCore Roller Inductor: Continuous variable tuning paired with a gear-driven 3-digit turns counter and crank knob for quick, repeatable adjustments.

• TrueActive Cross-Needle Metering: Simultaneously monitors forward power, reflected power, and SWR at a single glance with selectable power ranges and active peak-reading circuitry.

• 6-Position Antenna Selector: Instantly route RF between Coax 1 (tuned/direct), Coax 2 (tuned/direct), Balanced Line/Random Wire, and the internal Dummy Load.

• Built-in 300W Dummy Load: 50-ohm load integrated internally for easy rig adjustment and testing without putting a signal on the air.

• High-Voltage Current Balun: Built-in toroid balun paired with heavy-duty glazed ceramic insulators for matching balanced ladder line and open-wire feeders.
