<I second Jim's remarks about the VNWA 3E (and Dan's, AC6LA, software).? I use 
mine in the field with a 10" touch screen tablet computer (Motion) running, uck, 
Windows 10.? Not quite as friendly as a laptop but much more rugged.? If need 
be, I can save measurement data in a file and transfer it to the desk computer 
via Wi-Fi for additional analysis.

I have a couple of 50KW BC stations nearby that I've measured at -3dBm on my 
inverted-l.? As long as I start a sweep at 1.7 MHz or above I have no issue with 
them.

## I thought the 259B and 259C had an optional HP filter for em..to kill  AM broadcast ?
Thought it had a cut off of 1.8 mhz.  Or will a HP filter screw up the readings on test gear,
like vnas  etc ?
