<The MFJ259 is a fine box but when you get to 80m with anything near a BC it's going to be problems.? In fact I discovered the hard way that even up on 20m the box can read funky if your antenna is big enough or high enough.? I have a Rig Expert now as well and really love that thing - plus it's apparently immune to the local BC stations.? Not quite as capable as a VNA but has OSL cal, runs forever on battery and does stuff like stub tuning as you are trying here.? Don't think I have used the '259 since i bought the RE last fall. 73/jeff/ac0c ## Seems to me MFJ supplied a HP filter when using the MFJ-259B, to kill anything < 1.8 mhz.
