I don't even bother with the portable ones any more as an AIM will give
me all the numbers at each ens and along the coax, unless working at the
antenna. As I can't climb any more, that's not very often. With the
AIM, I can see how little loss there is with as many as 10 UHF
connectors in one HF run.

Wouldn't swap it for the world!
THe MFJ-259 CANNOT work well in a high RF environment, and can be
physically damaged by it, in fact. The manual details this very carefully.
There's nothing wrong with the 259/269 series, per se, but I certainly
wouldn't go back to one after using my AA-600 as long as I have. Having the
sign of impedance and all of the other variables right in front of you is
spoiling!
