- Hi all I just put up a 160 meter inverted L and the antenna is resonant after tweaking about 1850. It shows a resonant SWR of almost 3 to 1, but on the MFJ 259, is shows a resistance of around 40 ohm

- What do you mean by "resonant". Does the MFJ 259 show zero reactance at the "resonant frequency" where you are reading 40 ohms resistive? Bruce _______________________________________________ See: ht

- Hi Bruce This is the model 259, not the 259B. It has 2 meters, 1 is "SWR" and the other is "resistance.". _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supp

- "SWR" and the Tom, First... I disagree with the wording on that meter. That meter is labeled resistance, but it is really only resistance under certain specific conditions. Outside of those very spe

- Hi Tom The resistance reading of 40 ohms was at the low point of the SWR reading. There is a definate dip in the SWR, but it is up almost at 3:1. Tom W7WHY ___________________________________________

- The MFJ259 doesn't give you the resistive part of the impedance when the SWR is not equal to 1:1. From the tests I have done with it , I think it is giving you the total impedance. In the mnual, they

- This would be natural if energy from AM broadcast stations is enough to partially mask the minimum SWR point. I am over 100 km from nearest AM transmitter but the MFJ is pinned on any 160m dipole I'v
