Hello Walter,
Those units have a "gap" in their phase range. The range should be a full 360
degrees, but it is only about 280 degrees. If you can't get a good null, then
perhaps this is the problem.
Take a look at the bottom of the page at
http://www.w8ji.com/mfj-1025_1026.htm under the heading "Extending Phase Range".
I have seen comparisons to other units, and the MFJ came out on top. I suggest
that you stay with those units; they are superb for noise cancellation.
