WARNING: Make sure the +13.8 volts connection on the radio’s tuner port is capable of
supplying at least 750 mA of current, since the MFJ-928 uses up to 750 mA.
Jumper JP2, located behind the front panel circuit board, selects the radio to be connected to the
Radio Interface connector. Set this jumper to the “I” position to interface with radios that are
compatible with the Alinco EDX-2 tuner, Icom AH-3 and AH-4 tuners (also for interfacing to the
MFJ-5124Y3). Set the jumper to the “K” position to interface with radios that are compatible with
Kenwood AT-300 tuner. Set the jumper to the “Y” position to interface with Yaesu FT-100; “1”
position to interface with Yaesu FT-817, FT-857 or FT-897; and “2” position to interface with Yaesu
FT-847. If no cable is connected to the Radio Interface connector, set the jumper to the “0” position
to disable the interface. Default is “0”.

The MFJ-5114I interface cable provides power and control between an Icom radio and the MFJ
automatic tuner. Supported Icom radios are IC-706, IC-707, IC-718, IC-725, IC-728, IC-736, IC-738,
IC-746, IC-756, IC-765, IC-775, and any Icom radio that supports the Icom AH-3 or AH-4 tuner.
Push and hold the radio’s [TUNER] button for two seconds to start the tuning process. Push
[TUNER] quickly to bypass the tuner.
