For those that don't know, the 80M - 10M end-fed half wave antenna produced by mfj comes in 3 varient
[ ] MFJ-1982LP: 30-watts PEP, 80-10 meters
[ ] MFJ-1982MP: 300-watts PEP, 80-10 meters
[ ] MFJ-1982HP: 800-watts PEP, 80-10 meter
Has anyone who bought one of these second-hand and wondered, which version of this antenna do I have?
I just picked up one of these. The owner claims it's the 300 watt one.
However, how would you know? The balun box has no label to even identify that it's an MFJ product, let alone the model or the variant.
The owners guide does little to say what the variances are. Quoting the manual,
Here are Images of each unit from their respective product pages. From what I can see, the LP version has 2 vent holes and the MP and HP versions both have 9.

HP
below is my MFJ 1982, So with 9 holes in box, I have at-least an MP version.
