I would imagine that getting the Palstar Antenna Analyzer would be just as easy to obtain. I imagine dealers that they have would discount 10%-13% and the cost would be slightly more than a 259B and it is very good quality. I have heard good stories and bad ones about the 259B. However the one at our Museum in DC works flawlessly and the guy I work with has one at home and no problems.
