I'll second that...except for the MFJ and Autek part. The Micro 908 is the second analyzer that I have owned, and by far the better. I previously owned an MFJ 209 analyzer. It worked well, as far as I know. The Micro 908 kit is a great piece of gear. It is essentially a Microprocessor based unit that has the ability to run different software packages, and consequently can serve different hardware functions. So far, the software available is the AA908 (antenna analyzer) and the AF908 (dsp filter). When running the AA908 software there is also a PC software program that allows you to download and graph the SWR curve of your antenna, as well as the resistance and reactance curves. It is a really neat platform and they are developing more software for it. You should consider this kit. It winds up being about the same price as the MFJ unit.

I have a Micro908. It's beyond fabulous. I sold my MFJ and the Autek. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
