MFJ Enterprises MFJ-9015 - Introduction; Ease of Operation; Receiver Sensitivity; Receiver Selectivity

INTRODUCTION:
Congratulations
on
your
choice
of
the
MFJ-9015
15-Meter
QRP
transceiver.
Please
read
this
manual
carefully
before
attempting
to
operate
your
new
radio.
Let's
begin
with
an
introduction
to
some
special
features
we
think
you'll
like!
FASY
TO
OPERATE:
The
MFJ-9015
is
extremely
simple
to
set
up
and
operate
(much
easier
than
a
complex
multi-band
digital
radio).
GREAT
SENSITIVITY:
The
new
MFJ-9015
receiver
is
more
sensitive
than
ever
--
even
the
weakest
signals
come
in
loud
and
clear!
Plus,.
we
include
a
four-pole
front-end
filter,
double-balanced
mixing,
and
careful
gain
distribution
to
knock
down
intermod.
EXCELLENT
SELECTIVITY:
A
tight
750-Hz
cW-bandwidth
crystal
filter
fights
unwanted
QRM
and
noise
to
the
max!
Add
our
option-
al
MFJ-726
NARROW
AUDIO
FILTER
for
even
more
selectivity.
SMOOTH
AND
STABLE
VFO:
A
special
wide-spaced
6:1
reduction-drive
VFO
Capacitor
glides
slowly
across
the
easy-to-read
linear
dial.
Add
the
convenience
of
true
Receive
Incremental
Tuning
(RIT),
and
you
may
forget
you
aren't
operating
a
"big
rig"!
EASY
ON
THE
EARS:
Our
graceful
AGC
tracks
only
the
signals
you
want
to
hear
--
and
NEVER
locks
onto
adjacent
signals
outside
the
bandpass.
In
transmit,
enjoy
the
crystal-clear
700-Hz
sidetone
(no
square
waves).
Stop
sending,
and the
receiver
snaps
back
to
life
instantly
--
at
full
sensitivity
--
thanks
to
our
exclusive
WAGC
Instant
Recovery
Circuit"
(TM).
There's
plenty
of
audio
power
from
the
built-in
3"
speaker
or
from
your
favorite
phones.
RUGGED
TRANSMITTER:
The
MFJ-9015
delivers
full
QRP
output,
toler-
ates
up
to
3:1
VSWR,
and
survives
momentary
feedline
shorts
or
opens.
Adjustable-holed
T/R
switching
matches
your
personal
operating
style.
And,
700-Hz
offset
is
automatic;
just
like
ona
big
rig.
For
added
fun,
install
the
MFJ-412
CURTIS
IAMBIC
KEYER
MODULE
and
hook
up
your
favorite
set
of
paddles.
GO

your
MFJ-9015
QRP
station

Add
a
MFJ-4114
PORTABLE
