[TowerTalk] Modeling antenna traps

[Jim Hargrave]

Tim,
The MFJ Antenna analyzers make good DIP meters. 
 I have used my MFJ-269 as a Dip Meter several times. I prefer it to
my Retro-Grid dip meter. Especially since the 269 has a built-in
digital counter.

If you have the MFJ-66 Dip meter adapters, you will find
instructions in the MFJ-66 manual..
If you do not have the manual, you can download from MFJ (only 7
pages).
