I have a 259B that was given to me.  The reason was that it
does not give the sign of the impedance.  The circuits (they
were not antennas) the original owners were measuring were
such that the sign was not obvious.

I will probably sell mine because a 50 kW BC station 6 miles away
renders it useless when connected to most antennas.  (And I
don't want to spend $$ on the notch filter because there are
other strong stations besides that one).
