Sadly, Froggy, the MFJ coil adapter sucks. But, you might have better
luck than I did with my MFJ-259 and my A3 traps.
Fortunately, I had a B&W grid dip meter that worked outstandingly
compared to the MFJ-259.
Check my webpage:

This is my compilation of information and my experiences cleaning up
an old A3--it's still on the tower and performing very well.
