TopBand: Autek RF- Comments & Feedback

[Doherty, Robert]

We had over 30 replies from our inquiry about the Autek RF-1 anntena
analyzer....several on the relector have requested me to post the
comments.

This in no way is recommendation or criticism of the RF-1

EVERYONE who had the Autek RF-1 loved it !! They said they could not get
along without it ....!!!   and wondered how they had in the past..

For those who owned BOTH the Autek RF-1 and the MFJ 259, ...they
preferred the MFJ259.... being able to read all 3 meters at once was a
factor..

Separate Meters for....   Frequency.....SWR..... RF Resistance....

One replied who had both units offered the Autek RF-1 to me for sale if
that means anything....  He said he would keep the MFJ 259..

One problem with both units...close in AM broadcast stations affect the
operation on 80 meters and below.... strong RF field.... 10 miles or
less..

We have no AM stations within that distance.....

We purchased the MFJ259 at the Rochester NH flea on SAT.... Discounted
fro $239 to $199......

Now to get on with the elevated 160 inverted "L" and 580 ft
Beverage.....  cu in the tests.....
