Tom, For a moment I was getting excited because I thought Elecraft had introduced an Antenna Analyser kit! Now that would be a useful addition to their product line..... Regards,

SPAM] [Elecraft] Antenna Analyzer Redux Wow, that's a lot of response in a couple of hours. THANKS to everyone who took the time to reply. You guys are the best. The Tenna Dipper looks too good to pass up. Gotta have one. If it works out I can spend the rest of the money on a 100 watt hat for the K2. 73, Tom, kj3d -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of KJ3D Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2007 8:23 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net 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. So, an inexpensive model seems to be an MFJ-259B. eHam is full of reviews, and they seem to be either GREAT or DON'T BOTHER. I know there are some QC issues with MFJ stuff. I've had to clean up several of their units over the years which I actually take some pride in. They seem to deliver OK once the cold solders get fixed and the hot glue gets replaced. Anyway, I have enormous respect for the brain trust available on this reflector and it seems like I know some of you - unlike the more-or-less disembodied reviews on eHam. 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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4991 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
