[TowerTalk] New stuff from MFJ

[K7LXC@aol.com]

Howdy, TowerTalkians --

    I just got a new issue of Amateur Radio Trader and the back half of it is 
the latest MFJ catalog. I haven't been paying too much attention to their 
products for awhile so was surprised by the depth of their accessories that 
would be of particular interest to TowerTalkians. Here are some of the 
highlights:

*   MFJ-269 Our favorite antenna analyzer is available with the added 415-470 
                mHz range. 

*   There are also some new analyzer accessories - power pack with Ni-MH        
        batteries, carrying pouch with power pack. 

                If you don't have a carrying pouch for your MFJ analyzer, 
you're              missing ONE HANDY ITEM. With the strap, you can hang it 
from a              boom for hands-free readings. 

*   MFJ-852 Power line noise meter

*   MFJ-805 RFI Detector for wires and cables

*               Also RF current meter; grid dip meter, antenna bridge, noise 
bridge,
                
*               LOTS of antenna tuners, antenna switches and dummy loads

*   MFJ-1910    A 33-foot telescoping fiberglass mast that collapses to 
3.8-feet.

*   MFJ-1904    Portable/permanent ground-mounted vertical antenna base. Has    
            spikes that go into the ground to help coupling. 

    I was pretty impressed. I *think* that current products are more reliable 
than in the past and they promote their customer service. I haven't had any 
contact with the customer service aspect so other TowerTalkians might want to 
share their experiences with the company and their products. 

    I've got two analyzers and use them constantly so am very happy with that 
product. BTW if you've got one and the battery holders have broken (a common 
problem), they'll send you free replacements. 

Cheers,
