AND MAXIMUM POWER RATING.  THIS FEATURE LIMITS THE MFJ 994BRT MAXIMUM PEAK
VOLTAGE TO 1000 V AND MAXIMUM PEAK CURRENT TO 10 A ACROSS THESE COMPONENTS.
FOR THE MFJ 998RT THE MAXIMUM LIMITS ARE 2100 V PEAK AND 13 A PEAK.  IF A
MATCH COULD BE ACHIEVED, BUT WITH SETTINGS THAT WOULD RESULT IN DESTRUCTIVE
VOLTAGES OR CURRENTS, THE AUTO TUNERS WILL NOT PERMIT THE MATCH.  BOTH AUTO
TUNERS WILL NOT TUNE IF MORE THAN 75 W IS APPLIED AND THE SWR IS GREATER
THAN 3 1, OR IF MORE THAN 125 W IS APPLIED REGARDLESS OF SWR.  THIS
EFFECTIVELY LOCKS THE TUNER SETTINGS WHEN HIGH POWER IS APPLIED, PROTECTING
THE TUNER AND YOUR RF POWER AMPLIFIER FROM DAMAGE.  FINALLY, BOTH THE MFJ
994BRT AND THE MFJ 998RT CAN BE FORCED TO RETUNE ON ANY GIVEN FREQUENCY.
WHEN STICKY TUNE IS ENABLED DEFAULT THESE AUTO TUNERS WILL ALWAYS RETUNE
THE FIRST TIME YOU TRANSMIT AFTER A POWER CYCLE.  SO IF YOU WANT TO TRY FOR
A LOWER TUNED SWR ON A GIVEN FREQUENCY, SIMPLY CYCLE POWER AND THEN
