The Drake MN-2000 matching network matched an unbalanced 50 ohm transmitter output to unbalanced antenna loads with a VSWR of up to 5:1. The MN-2000 had band-switching coverage of 80–10 meters and could select two antennas through the matching network or two antennas directly. It also had an output for an external dummy load. The meter had 200 and 2000 watt scales as well as a VSWR scale.
