Ive been more than pleased with a MFJ 259B where it has mostly been used on
40-160M setting up vertical arrays and a HB 2/2 for 40M. It also was a help
setting up Beverages.
I dont need VNA accuracy for those simple projects.
It was bothered a bit by BCB overload on 160 but that was a simple junkbox
cure.
