[amsat-bb] Re: Antenna Analyzer

Hi Howard
I wouldn't be without my MFJ-269 analyzer.  It is very accurate and a handy size.  Highly recommended. (no, I don't own stock in MFJ)
One word of caution: mine (and maybe there is something wrong with mine) draws some power from the batteries with the power switch OFF. So I take one of the batteries out when not in use.

Hello to everyone
I am seriously thinking about buying an antenna analyzer,I build enough antennas to justify buying one.I enjoy building HF,VHF,UHF antennas of all flavors.The standard swr bridge is just not cutting it anymore.So I guess what I am looking for is one that will do 3mhz to 500mhz,nice to have computer interface but not a priority.I have seen a few on the internet but its nice to get some user input,rather then the sales pitches.
Thanks to all who read and reply in advance
