I have a 269 and 259 and the work pretty well.  I try to avoid that brand
for most everything else.

Autek research has an analyzer too.  I have the HF and VHF versions. I
prefer the MFJ units.

I have received several suggestions as to which Analyzer I should

get. I thought I would share my feeble analysis with everyone.

 

AIM 4170:  While a nice bench instrument, it is not suitable for

field use. I don't want to carry around a PC with it. Besides who

can read an LCD screen in full daylight. The same goes for other

analyzers that require a PC.

 

AA-200: Nice and portable, BUT, the Blue on Green screen and

the small Font size bother me. I haven't had one in my hand yet, 

so if I do get to do the "touchy-feely" test I may revise this.

 

Palstar ZM-30: MFJ look-alike but it only goes to 30 MHz. Big

drawback for me as I also operate on 6 meters.

 

So, I am back to the MFJ-269. Like 'em or hate 'em, my old

MFJ-259 has provided yeoman service all these years.

 

That's it for now,
