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
