MFJ made significant changes in the internal design and operation of the
989 tuner between the B,C, and D models. I have an original copy of the
Manual for the C, and a downloaded copy for the 989D (no diagram), but
the Tuner I have is the 989B. The tuner is well built and works.
Because the changes were very significant, I really need a manual, in
any form I can get.
Among the changes- the direction of the Capacitor variation reversed
between the B an C; The range of the counter for the Inductor was
different for the B,C, and D versions ( B was 0-100 increasing L, C was
0-125 decreasing L and D was 0-90 decreasing L.) The type of variable
inductor changed. The direction of the counter variation changed between
the B and C as did the type of counter drive ( belt to gear drive.) I
know there were changes to the Balun, as well.
With all these changes (which do not show from the outside) I feel the
need for information. Note that this is all for one model number, with
three consecutive suffixes.) MFJ is NO help.
Any help will be appreciated. (Putting it mildly)
