Kurt:
Depends on what you're trying to do. If all you want is to read SWR without
sending out a transmitted signal, the MFJ-207 will do nicely. You can often
find them in the $60-70 range on eBay.
MFJ makes a very fancy R+JX analyzer. However, it has a reputation for
uneven quality and reliability. (In fairness, many Elecraft list members
report themselves being quite happy with the fancy MFJs.)
My opinion is that in R+JX analyzers, if you're strictly interested in HF,
the best value for the money is the Palstar ZM-30 available for $349 from
the manufacturer. I own one and I am very happy with it. (Disclaimer: I
have no financial interest in Palstar. I'm merely a very happy customer.)

Hello All,
I've decided that before I get too carried away with
antenna experiments (mag loops, etc.), it would
probably be a good idea to get an antenna analyzer.
Anyone have a favorite they would like to recommend?
I'm leaning toward the Micro908 from the American QRP
Club. Anyone want to talk me into an MFJ or another
brand?
Too bad Elecraft doesn't offer one. I would love to
see them do for antenna analyzers what they did for
antenna tuners with the T1.
Regard,
