HI Neal:

Check out the RigExpert 230ZOOM. It works great on all bands - even on 160 
close to AM broadcast stations, no problems at all. The MFJ-259 cannot handle 
AM broadcast - as it will give error results. The 230ZOOM stores plots, etc. 
super feature set. Works great in the shack and out on the tower.

I have the AIM-4170C and a really
old MFJ-259. The AIM-4170C is
a very useful tool in the shack, where
I can hook it up to a computer and
do detail analysis.

But, when outside, at the Antenna,
I always reach for my trusty old MFJ.

Both instruments have their place
in Antenna work.

BTW, my MFJ-259 has worked since
day 1 with no issues. I added a high
capacity Lithium Battery to it so I can
use it for days without recharging.
