I had to modify mine. Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I had a AR-10 Ringo 10M antenna given to me and matched it right on 28.400MHz. However, I wanted to also use it on CB, but the match on 27MHz was 4:1 VSWR. So, I've wanted one of those little CB Antenna Matcher Units for a long time, so I bought a Maco 91, and it didn't work. It threw my match to a 5:1 - 20:1. So, it worked in reverse. However, since it was assembled much like an MFJ product I was able to modify it. I've compressed the coil, swapped out the ANT Varicap to a much lower capacitance, and reverse ANT / RADIO connectors. Wonderful 1.1:1 match on 20 CB channels now, and I can easily fine tweak where the VSWR's curve. So, if you get one, and it doesn't work quite right, modify it so that it does.
