Phil,

I have had the great misfortune to receive (free) two mfj "3kw" antenna
tuners.  Pure junk! - mediocre design and very poor implementation.

I had an mfj antenna switch - also junk - it is now contaminating a landfill
somewhere.  

One of the gang on the 80m commented that he was going to "junk" his mfj
tuner.  How do you junk an mjf?  If I ever hunt dung-beetles, I will be sure
to bring along an mfj product - for bait!
