The "antenna analyzer" of the MFJ 2xx series, tells you a total impedance, ie it does not break it down into capacitive reactance or inductive reactance impedance terms, unless you use the advanced operating tips. Changing the frequency of measurement shows if the impedance is mostly inductive as it will increase at a slightly higher frequency away from resonance. EG Xl equals 2 PifL, higher frequency, higher reactance.
