MFJ-904/904H Deluxe Travel Tuner Instruction Manual

INTRODUCTION

The MFJ-904/904H Travel Antenna Tuner was specially compact-built with

great features. The MFJ-904 has a Cross-Needle SWR/Wattmeter, 50 ohm SO-

239 connectors and a tuner/bypass switch. The MFJ-904H adds a binding post

for random wire and binding post with a 4:1 balun for balanced lines.

You can operate 80 through 10 Meters -- anywhere with any transceiver -- use

any coax fed, random wire or balanced line antenna. It’s great for mobile, base,

backpack, etc. The MFJ-904/904H handles 150 watts RF output.

INSTALLATION

The MFJ-904/904H should be installed between the transmitter and antenna.

1. Locate the tuner in a convenient location at the operating position.

2. Use a 50 ohm coaxial cable to connect the transmitter or transceiver to the

SO-239 labeled TRANSMITTER on the back of the tuner.

3. Connect an antenna feed to the appropriate tuner output:

a.) COAX-FEED to the SO-239 connector labeled ANTENNA.

b.) RANDOM WIRE

MFJ-904: A random wire may be used by connecting to the center of

the SO-239 connector with the supplied plug.

MFJ-904H: Connect to the red binding post labeled WIRE.

The MFJ-904/904H must be grounded when using a random wire.

c.) BALANCED FEEDERS (MFJ-904H only) to the red binding posts

labeled BALANCED LINE. When using a balanced feedline, connect a

short jumper from the WIRE binding post to the closest balanced line

post (see labeling on back of unit).

4. Connect your tuner and transmitter to a good earth ground.

OPERATION

This tuner has a BYPASS/TUNE switch located on the back of the unit. Simply

place the switch toward the BYPASS labeling to completely bypass the tuning

circuit. Change the switch toward the TUNE labeling to place the tuning circuit

between the transmitter/transceiver and the antenna.

In this tuner the TRANSMITTER and ANTENNA matching controls have

maximum capacitance at position 0 (fully meshed), and minimum capacitance at

MFJ-904/904H Deluxe Travel Tuner Instruction Manual

position 10 (fully open). Be sure to use the highest possible capacitance for

each band. This will provide the smoothest tuning, highest efficiency, and

greatest power handling capability.

The INDUCTANCE switch has maximum inductance in position "A", and

minimum inductance in position "L". Less inductance is needed as the

frequency is increased. If too little inductance is used, the tuner may not match

the load properly. If too much inductance is used, the tuner will be "touchy",

power handling will be compromised (capacitors could arc, etc.) and the

bandwidth will not be as wide.

Special Note: Always use the minimum amount of inductance as possible.

Minimum inductance gives the best efficiency, maximum power

handling, and widest bandwidth.

The MFJ-904/904H covers 80 through 10 meters. Do not operate on 160

meters.

SWR/Wattmeter:

The built-in SWR/Wattmeter measures forward and reflected power and

indicates SWR. The It has 2 power scales which are selected with the front

panel push button switch. The low power scale reads from 0-30 watts forward

and 0-6 watts reflected. The high power scale reads from 0-300 watts forward

and 0-60 watts reflected. SWR is indicated from 1:1 to ∞.

The MFJ-904/904H has an illuminated meter. To provide power for the meter

lamp, a 12 Vdc supply such as the MFJ-1312D should be used. Use a standard

2.1 mm coaxial plug with the center conductor positive and the sleeve ground.

To measure forward and reflected power press the selector switch to the correct

power setting. Transmit a steady carrier and read the power from the meter.

Each unmarked picket on the scale is an even division between the adjacent

marked values. SWR is read from the SWR curve closest to where the meter

needles cross.

Tuning Procedure:

1. Position the TRANSMITTER control to 5 on the corresponding scale.

2. Position the ANTENNA control to 0 on the corresponding scale.

3. Place the BYPASS/TUNE switch in the TUNE position.

4. Apply just enough power to obtain noticeable deflection on the reflected

power meter or SWR meter.

5. Adjust the INDUCTOR control for lowest deflection on the reflected power.

6. Carefully adjust the TRANSMITTER control for the lowest reflected power,

then increase the ANTENNA control slightly and adjust the

TRANSMITTER control for the lowest reflected power. Again, increase the

ANTENNA control slightly and adjust the TRANSMITTER control for

lowest reflected power. Repeat this process for lowest reflected power.

Note: These controls interact. Go back and forth between these adjustments

as many times as required until the lowest reflected power (best SWR)

is obtained.

7. After the lowest reflected power (or SWR) is obtained in step 6, use the

INDUCTOR switch to reduce the inductance one switch position (L is the

lowest inductance setting). Adjust the TRANSMITTER and ANTENNA

controls for the lowest SWR. Continue this process until the lowest SWR

cannot be repeated, then use the INDUCTOR switch to increase the

inductance by one switch position (A is the highest inductance setting).

Tune for lowest SWR.

WARNING: Never transmit while changing the INDUCTOR switch.

Note: Always use as little inductance as possible. Step 7 minimizes the

inductance and maximizes the capacitance.

8. After a low SWR is obtained, the transmitter power may be increased to any

value up to 150 watts.

WARNING: Do not exceed 150 watts output. You will damage the tuner!
