  • Notes
  • MFJ-249 HF/VHF SWR Analyzer

    The MFJ-249 combines four basic circuits: a wide range oscillator, a frequency counter, a 50 Ω RF bridge and a calibrated bridge unbalance indicator. This combination of circuits allows measurement of the SWR (referenced to 50  Ω) of any load connected to the ANTENNA connector. The FREQUENCY switch selects the following frequency ranges:
    1.8 - 4 MHz, 4 - 10 MHz, 10 - 26.2 MHz, 26.2 - 62.5 MHz, 62.5 - 113 MHz, 113 - 170 MHz.

    The MFJ-249 can be used to adjust or measure the following:
    Antennas: SWR, resonant frequency, bandwitdth, efficiency
    Antenna tuners: SWR, frequency
    Amplifiers: Input and output networks
    Coaxial transmission lines: SWR, velocity factor, losses, resonance
    Balanced transmission lines: Impedance, velocity factor, resonence
    Matching or tuning stubs: SWR, resonant frequency, bandwidth
    Traps: Resonant frequency
    Tuned circuits: Resonant frequency
    Small capacitor: Value
    RF chokes and inductors: Self resonance, series resonance, value
    Transmitters and oscillators: Frequency
