[RFI] MFJ-854 Clip-on RF Ammeter Experience?

[Tom Rauch]

Dan, I don't know the model numbers, but I worked on or two
one of the current meters they sell.

The style I did were reasonably close in accuracy and had a
useful current range from a few mA to something like three
amps in steps. They were OK in terms of frequency response.

There was a second one that isn't very linear with frequency
and isn't calibrated, more or less a wiggler. I had nothing
to do with that one, except for looking at a few.

So it depends on what you want to, and how they assembled
the unit. I'd even wonder by now if the calibration and test
fixtures I built are still being used.

73, Tom W8JI

Yes, I know that I can build one easily - but I don't have
time :-)

Has anyone used an MFJ-854 that is willing to share their
experiences?
I need a meter to help me determine if I have RF on any of
my
coax's or control cables.  This seems like just the ticket.

Thanks!
