I did reverse cables constantly on the MFJ but the operations was always
troublesome and time consuming with the 1026. The DXE NCC-1 operation is
smooth and with the large phasing know obtaining nulls on much more
reliable. From what Ii have been to do with two major DX-peditions on
160 in phasing RX Beverages to me there is no comparison. Although the
NCC-1 is a bit expensive I have come to the conclusion that it is worth
every penny.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Herb. I have an MFJ-1025 but
haven't used it since I moved to this QTH 11 years ago.
However, it DID work very well for me in the past. Sometimes, to get
it to null unwanted line noise, I had to reverse the cable
connections, since the MFJ phase adjustment does NOT cover the full
360 degrees unless we do.
Did you know about that? I don't recall if that was in the manual. Do
you remember if you reversed the coax? Just trying to see of that
might have been why there was such a tremendous improvement between
the MFJ and the DXE product.

After nearly two years of trying to get some measurable
improvement with the MFJ-1026 noise cancelling box I finally gave
up and sold them on E-Bay and purchased a DX-Engineering NCC-1.
