***All Loops sold by ML&S are the very latest versions from the MFJ Factory. We still rework them but after MFJ incorporated some of our reports into the new versions we continue to QA each and every loop sold***

“No other dealer rebuilds the MFJ Loops to the standard set by ML&S. They just keep on working straight out of the box”


Did you know?
Each and EVERY MFJ-1786X (and 1788X) is partially stripped, re-built and modified before shipping? Why? Because after selling hundreds of these antennas into the market place we took feedback from our customers and addressed the issues reported, improving & enhancing the design. Even better we do not increase the price but can offer this excellent product built to a standard that our customers are happy with.
Our engineers complete the following modifications before we dispatch this product:

1.       Visually inspect box and internal packaging for signs of damage.

2.       Remove both antenna unit & control unit from box.

3.       Open top of antenna unit – to expose tuning capacitor & drive motor.

4.       Check tightness of main capacitor shaft.

5.       Check alignment of capacitor vanes.

6.       Check alignment between main shaft & motor spindle.

7.       Check tightness of coupling between main shaft & motor spindle.

8.       Check wiring connections to drive motor.

9.       Check rotational operation of capacitor (end-stop to end-stop).

10.   Check slow-motion speed of capacitor, and adjust if necessary.

11.   Re-assemble unit & repackage.

12.   Ensure UK style mains plug fitted if required.
