....I have it and an MFJ259, they both help you make sure an antenna
works before you commit, etc... The Autek is nice to bring up the tower but the tuning pot on it is so SO sensitive... I find I don't use mine - anyone wanna buy it?

Read the mixed reviews on e-ham and get the impression that it is a very nice unit - when it works - which may not be too long, that the constructon and quality control is somewhat shakey, and that the warranty may not be worth the paper it is written on. Geesh, why am I still looking at this thing? Guess it is because there doesn't seem to be much middle ground in the e-ham reviews. Seems like things are either the greatest thing since (insert your favorite here) or the biggest piece of crap imaginable. So how about some real world opinions. _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather Stations", and lot's more.
