- I have a question about the low frequency accuracy of the MFJ 259 antenna analyzer. I spent CQWW weekend doing some antenna work while KS4XG did a 15m SOSB effort from here. Since the station was in

- Good morning. A common problem with all of these meters is their sensivity to RF from other sources. The most common are AM and FM broadcast. If there is a broadcast within several miles, the meters

- Hi Will I've used a MFJ 259 on our club's 160/80/40 inverted vee and seemed like it was fairly accurate on 160. 73, Mike K9MI -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/towertalkfaq.html Submissions: t

- Will; I have an AutecRF1 that goes real squirrely on frequencies much below 9 mhz. This only occurs on longer wires, 40 foot vertical and a one hundred foot long wire. As others have mentioned before

- 15m reasonable fine as A common problem with all of the various analyzers out there. Most likely overload of the detector from a nearby AM station. The AM RF just biases the diodes causing a higher r

- Hi Will I have used one on my 160 inverted "L" and never could get a true reading with it. Swr was never below 3-1 anywhere on 160. A check with the SWR meter in the shack showed the same as yours, e

- Hi Will - The MFJ 259 suffers from RFI (BCI). Most likely the squirly behavior would have been different at another time of the day. I have heard, but don't know for sure, that the newer 259B model i

- Hi Will, You probably experienced the effects of RF getting into the 259. MFJ is releasing a "transparent filter" I designed that will cure virtually all of these problems. Tests at some "unusable lo

- [snip] It's just this 160 inv. vee >that it can't deal with. For what it's worth, I've had my MFJ259 for 2-3 years and it's never given me any such problems. I've just checked it (again) on a 50-ohm
