General Information
For new antenna installations (DXE-MBVE5AE-BRT/BRT3/BRT4), the antenna is installed as
previously out lined in this manual. Additional clamps and hardware are included for mounting the
MFJ Remote Tuner (MFJ-993BRT or MFJ-994BRT). The mounting method for either of these
remote tuners is the same as outlined in this section of the manual.
For an upgrade to an existing DXE-MBVA-5/5A (as shown in the chart above), the parts in the
upgrade kits are installed as outlined in this section of the manual.
The MFJ Remote Antenna Tuner Add-on Kit for the DXE-MBVA-5/5A 43 Foot Multi-band
Vertical Antennas is a remotely mounted automatic tuner allowing operation up to 300 or 600 Watts
depending on the model chosen. The MFJ-993BRT - 300 Watt or MFJ-994BRT - 600 Watt are
the perfect solution for the DX’er who wants improved performance on the 43 foot tall multi-band
vertical antenna. A Bias Tee is included with these special packages for supplying the +12 Vdc
power through the coaxial cable from your radio shack to the remote tuner.
