Re: [Drakelist] MN-2000/ MN-4

2010-03-15 Thread Richard Palmer
I have a brass slinky. Right now end to end about 32 ft. (bad # for 
40m). It is resonate at 15m. And with a mfj 941D tuner will do 80-10m 
1:<1.5. I want a Drake tuner and have read that they can tune a garbage 
can (-8. But for the price of  a MN-2000 I wanted to ask.


Thanks for the input.

In my case, for 30M I use the 40M position--it will also work from the 
twentyM position

for 17 I use 15M for 12 I use 10M

It will depend somewhat on the antenna You use so it may not work for 
every case, but I am happy with the New Carolina Windom 40 and the 
MN-2000
