help me with this.. I'm really tired of walking back and forth from the
tower to the shack.. The most important things i want to measure with
this device is SWR and impedance (Ohm + imaginary part). I know MFJ has
a few of them, but perhaps there are others as well ? What about the
MFJ-249 ? any comments ? Personally i'd prefer LCD digits. >>
Check the TowerTalk archives at www.contesting.com. About 3-4 months
ago I posted a LONG post on the topic. I also devoted an Up The Tower column
in CQ Contest magazine last month or so. A reprint will run you a buck.
The new AEA CIA-HF and MFJ-259B both have MANY more features than their
predecessors. The MSR of the AEA is $349 and the 259B is $239. TowerTalkians
seem to prefer the MFJ.
