Are you close to a strong RF field? I’v seen where interference can give false
readings on the MFJ analyzers. Have you tried it directly to your radio and
checked it? How high up is the antenna?

I put a new xm240 together (after a number of parts issues) and when testing
it with a mfj 259 it is resident at 2:7 to 1 at 5926.0 shows 10:1 anywhere
else tried 2 baluns and feed lines. Could this be a 259 issue although it is a
newer one (to replace my very old one) .Has anyone had trouble with the
traps/loading coils they use? First new antenna I have built in 40+ years and
it does not work, very frustrating as this is all just slide together and
measure. Any thoughts would be helpful
Thanks
