It simply tunes everything, also the kitchen sink! :-)

An OM friend of mine didn't need it any more, after 20 years of honourable duty, just because all of his brand new rigs have built-in ATs.
It found a new home under my Yaesu FT-897D and since it's slightly bigger than the rig, it acts also as a comfortable and nice-to-see basement for the rig.
This antenna tuner is still giving out its everyday's duty to tune a multiband wire-and-traps dipole by the now defunct Eco Antenne, which was designed to work on 80-40-20-15-10 meter bands only.
This oldie-but-goodie tunes my dipole to work flawlessly also on WARC bands, achieving a surprising 1,3:1 - 1,1:1 SWR with 80%-100% power output on all the HF bands ranges!
I'm a digital modes "addicted" ham and it let me work almost all Europe on 30m, but the best result was getting a 599 report to my 50-Watt RTTY signal by a Senegal station on 12 meters... with a dipole which shouldn't be working at all on those bands!
If one day I'm getting a radio with built-in antenna tuner, my old faithful Daiwa CNW-419 will never get out of my shack!
To recall the title of my review, it simply tunes everything, also the kitchen sink!

Unfortunetely Daiwa doesn't produce it anymore.
It was bought barnd new in may 1991 and sice than has worked flawlessy day after day.
I would say that the instruments is excellent as well.
Great unit for power up to 200 key down.
ps: running with a Cushcraft R7, sometime i have tried some good qso in 80 meter band... (R7 is a vertical multibander antenna that doesn't cover 80 meter band).
I have noticed that the unit (inductor) becomes *hot* in few second with just 100 w out.

I bought this tuner in 1991 and used it for about 4 years without any troubles, very solid finish. Sold it after upgrading the station with a linear to a friend who still uses its today. 15 years for an almost daily used item is not bad.

Works Well!

I have used this transmatch for three years and it works well. It is well built and will match a wide verity of impedances. It will allow me to tune my 6-meter rig to my 132-foot doublet. Only minus is it does not have a 1:1 or 4:1 balun to connect to balanced tuned feeders. You have to add an outboard balum. Well worth the money.

A great tuner!

I have had this tuner ever since it first came out in the eighties, never parted with it and it has survived despite rigs being changed over the years. I have used the tuner with end fed antenna's, G5RV's and it variants, dipoles and the rest.If you want a first class manual tuner that is reliable, tunes virtually anything then this is it, look out for one and buy!

This is my second 419 and it's going to stay in the shack this time .I find it tunes just about anything that you connect to it,not like the MFJ range .If anyone is after a manual tuner go for one of these .

Looks the Part

I've just got a CNW-419 from E-Bay. What a size! A serious looking bit of kit.
Unfortunately this came without a user manual. Anybody able to tell me where I can get one?
One other thing. It doesn't appear to work at anything over 18MHz. Any ideas?
