Topband: New MFJ 259C available

[Tom W8JI]

I thought a much more useful item would have been a 259 revision that was 
totally immune to RFI, and still did about the same stuff over a wider 
frequency range.

As I looked at things over the years, very few people want VNA's that attach 
to PC's, and that market is covered anyway. I thought a 259 revision wth 
direct conversion receivers and a wide frequency range, and a calibrate 
function, and just basically do what the 259B does now, would have been much 
better.

That would have solved all the major issues, and not cost a fortune or 
required a computer. My 259B does 99% of what I need, but would  be a whole 
lot better with a cal correction (open, short, load), sweep, wide range, and 
receivers with a phase detector instead of a diode bridge.
