I don't think that you will have much luck with the MFJ used as a grid dip
meter. You will need a decent grid dip meter.

## I have never been able to grid dip anything with either my 259 or 259B.
That was using both optional grid dip coils. I tried every simple circuit you
could think of
just to test that feature. Like a simple cap and coil in parallel. Even
tried different cap + coil combos to no avail.
Series, parallel, you name it, didn’t work. Finally threw in the towel.
Even W8JI sez they don’t work Dunno why they sell the pair of optional grid
dip coils. Nobody
else here in town had any luck either. Only thing that works is a real grid
dip meter.
