Hi Chris,

There are several other analyzers and they have all been discussed in e-mail
posts in the last few days as well as on eham.net.  Someone posted that info
as well.  I suggest you look into that.

Regarding pricing, I am not sure where you get the idea that the MFJ269 is
$800 CA.

I bought a 269 last fall for $319 total from HRO New Hampshire.

At the current exchange rate of about $0.64 for a Canadian Dollar, this
would be $498 CA and change.  I am not sure what other stuff you were
referring to.  I use the 269 by itself without any other stuff - it does
everything I need it for.
