Description

MFJ Indoor active Antenna HF - MFJ-1020C

MFJ Tunable Active Antenna

MFJ invented the tunable active antenna! New technology uses a cascode FET/bipolar transistor and a gigahertz bandwidth buffer.

Numerous copies have been made without success - including most recent ones. Why? Because MFJ has made continuous improvements where others have not. The MFJ-1020C has been completely redesigned with new technology.

With the MFJ-1020C tuned indoor active antenna you'll rival reception of outside wire antennas hundreds of feet long and pick up signals loud and clear from all over the world.

World Radio TV Handbook says the MFJ-1020C is a "fine value. . fair price. . best offering to date. . performs very well indeed."

MFJ's unique tuned circuitry minimizes Intermodulation, improves selectivity, and reduces noise outside the tuned band. You can also use it as a tuned preselector with an external antenna.

The MFJ-1020C covers 0.3 to 40 MHz including VLF, AM broadcast, all shortwave and all amateur radio bands. It has Tune, Band, Gain, On-Off/Bypass controls and SO-239 coax connectors. It uses a 9volt battery, 9-18 VDC or 10VAC with the MFJ-1312D.

The MFJ-1020C measures 6W x 2H x 5D inches.

It includes a 19' telescoping whip.

MFJ-1020C SWL Indoor-Outdoor Active Antennas

MFJ-1020C SWL Indoor-Outdoor Active Antennas have been redesigned using new components. They use a specially selected j-FET and a gigahertz-wide bandwidth buffer. Tuned circuitry minimizes intermod, improves gain and selectivity, reduces noise from outside the selected band, and is notprone to self-oscillations that can severely damage your receiver!

A removable telescopic whip antenna is included for SWL operation. However, you can also use them as tuned preselectors with your existing external receive antenna. With the extra gain and selectivity provided by these MFJ-1020C tuned pre-selectors, your antenna will pick up more signals.

The MFJ-1020C provides continuous coverage from 300 kHz VLF through all long-wave, shortwave, and amateur radio frequencies up to 40 MHz VHF. Their front panel controls are Tune, Band, Gain, On-Off, and Bypass. Their rear panel features SO-239 coax connectors and a ground terminal. An internal 9-volt battery or optional 9-12 VDC external supply powers these units.

This is actually a cool gadget

Review by Joe Pillera March 19, 2019 3/19/19

Make no mistake - there's just no substitute for a good antenna that's also high in the air. But with that said, MFJ has come out with a pretty nice gadget here. The biggest negative is power: the power cord it comes with would not even reach the power supply in my shack. So if you get this gadget, make sure to get that MFJ-1312D power adapter too. Trust me. It's worth the extra few bucks. In any case, we have a 20M dipole in the backyard. I hooked this active antenna gadget up to it and the first word out of my mouth was "wow!". It really does make a difference.
