• Power: This jack accepts a standard 2.1 × 5.5 mm coaxial plug with positive center and negative
sleeve. The tuner requires 12-15 volts DC at up to 750 mA. The use of a regulated supply is not
mandatory but is recommended for best performance. An optional 12 volts DC 1.5 amp power
supply, the MFJ-1316, is available from MFJ Enterprises, Inc. The MFJ-925 also accepts 12 volts
that is impressed on the incoming coax cable using an MFJ-4116 or MFJ-4117 Bias Tee for remote
operation.
WARNING: Do not apply voltages greater than 18 volts to this unit, or permanent damage
may result.
Note: When the tuner power is OFF, the tuner is bypassed and RF from the transmitter goes
directly to the antenna with no matching. When turned on, the tuner powers up in bypass
mode.
• Radio Interface: An 8-pin modular (RJ-45)
connector for connecting to the tuner interface
connector of compatible radios. Most radios
provide +13.8 VDC power thought its tuner
interface connector. If separate power
supplies are used to power the MFJ-925, the
MFJ-925 should be powered on first (both
LEDs blink once) and then turn on the radio,
so the radio knows an external tuner is
attached. The radio will disable its internal
tuner, if it has one, and use the external tuner.
The Radio Interface works with radios that are compatible with Alinco EDX-2, Icom AH-3 and AH-
4, Kenwood AT-300, and Yaesu FC-30, FH-1 and FH-2. When connected to a compatible radio,
simply press the [TUNER] or [AT] button on the radio; for FH-1 or FH-2 compatible Yaesu, press the
[TUNE] button on the tuner to start the automatic tuning process. The radio will automatically switch
to CW mode, transmit a low power (typically 10-30 watts) carrier, and start the tuning process. Once
the automatic tuning is completed, the radio will return to its previous mode and power setting.
WARNING: Make sure the +13.8 volts connection on the radio’s tuner port is capable of
supplying the 750 mA of current required by the MFJ-925.
