MFJ 16010
The MFJ-16010 is a variable L-network random wire antenna tuner designed to match the low output impedance of your transmitter to the high impedance of a random wire (or vice
versa). It will match almost any random length of wire to any transmitter from 160
thru 10 meters. The transmitter may have an output RF power up to 200 watts. For
best results, the random wire should be as long, high, and clear of surrounding
objects as possible. Do not ground the random wire antenna.
The connectors are labeled properly to match a transmitter to a higher
impedance. This is the normal connection. To match impedances that are lower than your transmitter impedance (such as a mobile whip), simply interchange the normal transmitter and antenna connections to the MFJ-16010.
Remember the MFJ-16010 is designed to match a single random wire and not a
coaxial line, even though coaxial connectors are used for both antenna and
transmitter connections (these connectors make it easy to interchange antenna
and transmitter connections).
A standard banana plug will fit nicely into the center of the SO-239 coaxial
connector and can be used to connect the single random wire in lieu of a
coaxial plug (PL-239).
