Thanks, that make sense. However is there a way to hook it up like
with the 4 pin molex connectors on the back of an Icom? The reason I
ask is, while the auto tune works great I tend not to leave it in that
mode. Sometimes it tends to re-tune in mid transmission if the SWR
spikes a bit. I prefer to use it in the semi-auto mode where it tunes
only when the tune button is pushed on the radio. Was curious if anyone
had hooked the 5000 up this way. Will be getting a 5000 soon. Another
interesting thought is that it would be nice since there are three
antenna outputs to be able to control a tuner on each one?
Thanks,

Bill,
The MFJ-998 is an automatic antenna tuner. If you set the FLEX-5000
internal tuner to BYP (Bypass), then clicking on TUN will cause the
FLEX-5000 (or SDR-1000 for that matter) to transmit a carrier at the tune
power level. With the MFJ-998 in automatic mode, it should tune
automatically. Click TUN again to return to normal operation.
