George,
I have several of these devices and I prefer the MFJ-259B, as it is easier for
me to operate. However, we all have different needs; the AEA/Timewave CIA and
VIA, and their predecessors, are pretty slick pieces of gear too, but again,
not so easy to (in my opinion) operate, at least as stand-alone equipment. I
carry an Autek RF-1 with my portable setup -- but I find that hard to tune
precisely enough.

Subject: [RFI] RF Impedance measurement
All,
I could use your thoughts and experience with measuring RF impedances with
"less than lab quality" commercial equipment. I would like to measure and
characterize things like antennas, baluns, ununs, etc over our typical HF
range. I have an old MFJ 259 but it lacks direct R and X measurement. So
