Hi Tom,
I bought a MFJ-259B a few years back and had to send it back after a few
weeks because of a bandswitch problem. The repaired analyzer's bandswitch
worked properly until a few months ago and had to be replaced. I never did
like the way in which the unit I have tunes, too much backlash. It is a
useful instrument as long as its limitations are recognized but I find the
Dipper addition not useful. When I have to use internal battery power the
useful operating time between recharges is quite short, sometimes too short
to complete a job.
Should I buy another 'Analyzer' it would not be a MFJ-259B, but to be fair I
have not explored any of the suitable alternatives.
73,
Geoff

Subject: [Elecraft] Antenna Analyzer
Hello Group,
I purchased a 17 m add-on to a Hustler 6-BTV vertical and the instructions
recommended I use an antenna analyzer to tune it up.
Having never used one of these I started looking around and got pretty
beaten up with sticker shock - just can't justify spending the bucks some
of
these things go for.
<snip>
Any thouhts about the 259B?
Any other suggestions? - 300 bucks is ALOT more than I would like to
spend,
so please don't suggest any of the AEA jobs - I would have to get a second
job.
Thanks in advance,
es 73
Tom, kj3d
