[TowerTalk] MFJ 259B

[Pete Smith]

My Autek RF-1 has just gone bonkers (I think), giving erratic and
irrational Z and SWR readings on things like my cantenna dummy load and a
50-foot piece of known good RG-213.  since the company doesn't believe in
giving you either a phone number or an e-mail address, the only option I
have with them is to send them $31 and a description of the symptoms, and
they'll work on it.  Great -- not even a timeline.

Anyhow, I think it's time for a change.  I recall there was a lot of
discussion a couple of years ago about the MFJ-259B, almost all of it good
(forget the grid dip meter option).  I'm just looking for a quick
"temperature check."  Are people still satisfied?  Have they held up?
