I agree about Mighty Fine Junk ... meters held in place
with glue-gun glue, raw metal edges, parts taped in place,
melted wire insulation at solder jounts, etc.
BUT ... I have a '259B and really like it! It's served me
well. I've used it for a number of antenna resonance
tasks and really can't offer a negative comment. Well,
maybe the poorly placed double sided sticky tape that
holds the batteries in place DID need a bit of attention ....
My Lady (N7HKW) and I spend six months each winter
in our RV and I have a screwdriver antenna on the rear
bumper that I tune to resonance with my '259B. It's easier
and faster than setting up the rig for low power and steady
carrier ...
Ditto for a 100' insulated tower at home that I use on 80
160 that has a manually-tuned network at the base.
W8JI's website has information that applies to the '259.
