Magnetic Loop problems solved

When opening the plastic cover on the MFJ-1788x mag loop antenna I found that one of the micro switches that indicates that the capacitor is turned all the way up/down was not working. Somehow I got it fixed and the antenna is now working. I haven't had much time to play with it yet but at least I'm hearing stations! Will be back with a more thorough report later

  1. Hello Mads, I consider buying the MFJ 1788X loop antenna. What are your recommendations? Would it perform better then my wire now? What polarization do you use and how many meters from ground? 73, Paul
