MFJ's head-engineer, Tom Rauch said it doesn't dip right.  

>Hello all
>Ok i have the MFJ 259B with the grid dip attachments
>I have wound a couple of tank coils for a amp.
>But for the life of me i can't figure out this MFJ thing out the manual 
>really sucks!
>They give you 2 different probes a big and little big for under 20mhz, 
>little for over.
>Maybe i am just doing something wrong here...... I stick the probe into 
>the center of the coil then adjust for a dip of some sort?
>they don't tell you which unit to use on the meter the resestance meter 
>or what  and  it will go like say 400 then as i roll through the freq
>it will start dropping towards 0  i didn't notice any kind of what i 
>would call a dip
>Anybody have any tips on what i am doing wrong. Maybe i am using the 
>wrong scale? i can flip it to Uf and stick it in the center of the coil 
>gives a reading that is the same as just holding it in mid air???????
