In addition to the other alternatives described by WA4SCA, Let me also
suggest another nice VNA (Vector Network Analyzer) -- the Mini-VNA and
Mini-VNA PRO made in Europe and available in the US from

Clint,
There are a few units filling in that price range, fortunately much closer
to MFJ than the Motorola in price.

First, befriend a Motorola technician at your local Moto dealership - if you
haven't already.
And you really have two price-point options: about US$400 for an MFJ-269, or a
true piece of bench service gear at about US$5000.
If you get an MFJ-269, "use" your contact with a real service tech to "
antenna match less than 1.1:1.

Hi Howard
I wouldn't be without my MFJ-269 analyzer. It is very accurate and a handy
size. Highly recommended. (no, I don't own stock in MFJ)
One word of caution: mine (and maybe there is something wrong with mine) draws
some power from the batteries with the power switch OFF. So I take one of
12 matches
