on
both products!
Hmm. I use an MFJ 100% of the time and am quite happy with it.
A couple of the units mentioned in this and subsequent posts are FB
antenna analyzers IF YOU'RE SITTING IN YOUR HAM SHACK. Guess what? 95% of the
time my analyzer is used outside - in the yard where the antenna is being
built
or up on the tower to either check it or diagnose a problem. Lotta good your
hamshack analyzer is in those cases. I guess you could haul your laptop up
the tower but that's pretty extreme.
I guess it depends on what you want your analyzer to do and where you
want to use it. I'll recommend an MFJ to anyone who asks.
