This is the first time I have read about the grid dip accessories and
eventually found them as MFJ-66 Dip Coils on the MFJ enterprises web-site.
Since I have an older Heath Dipper with all the dip coils it looks like I
should be able to adapt them. (maybe?)

 

Has anyone taken up this marriage of the Heath dip coils and the MFJ-269
analyzer? If so, any pitfalls I should be aware of?

 

Or, if I decide to purchase the MFJ-66 coils, are they worth the money? Or
is this MFJ accessory even worth the effort.

 

All ideas welcome,
