OK here is the list of items for my base unit that I am hooking up. I want to make sure I am doing this in the correct order. NOTE: It is important to know that the MFJ-267 Dummy Load has a switch allowing it to by pass the dummy load and go straight to the antenna so no need for a selector switch as it already has one built in.

Would this be the correct order working backward from the antenna???

Antenna: Maco V-5000
PolyPhaser: IS-B50HU-CO
DummyLoad/WattMeter: MFJ-267
Meter: Workman P5000
Amp: KLV-1000
Radio: Texas Ranger 696F SSB Base

If not please let me know before I go and blow up my new base station set up.

Sinker,

that is the corect order.and if you add a lo-pass filter in the future it will go between the radio and the klv amp.

The MFJ is a good idea,you can tune up off the antenna.The second meter is not needed,but you can put it between the radio and the amp.That will allow you to watch the input swr of amp.
