[TowerTalk] MFJ 259B analyzer vs Autek?

[Mel Farrer]

Any bridge device that uses the reflected signal for amplitude and phase
information will be disabled by a moderate to high RF field.  The filter
that MFJ sells for their 259 does not eliminate the problem. I know of no
bridge except for especially designed high power ones that overcome this
problem.

Once I couldn't us an Autek analyzer because it was fooled by the RF field
produced by a medium power FM Broadcast transmitter, located several hundred
meters away.
I have been reported the same by several other users.
