Dunno how good they are, but I seem to recall that MFJ makes a
band filter box to go ahead of their 259 Antenna Analyzer which
is supposed to help keep unwanted RF out of the meter input.
Might be worth investigating if you need to take readings in an
area where there's a lot of RF from other, possibly interfering,
sources.
