I have a 269 and 259 and the work pretty well. I try to avoid that brand
for most everything else.
Autek research has an analyzer too. I have the HF and VHF versions. I
prefer the MFJ units.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Antenna Analyzer Suggestions: Conclusions
I have received several suggestions as to which Analyzer I should
get. I thought I would share my feeble analysis with everyone.
AIM 4170: While a nice bench instrument, it is not suitable for
field use. I don't want to carry around a PC with it. Besides who
can read an LCD screen in full daylight. The same goes for other
analyzers that require a PC.
AA-200: Nice and portable, BUT, the Blue on Green screen and
the small Font size bother me. I haven't had one in my hand yet,
so if I do get to do the "touchy-feely" test I may revise this.
Palstar ZM-30: MFJ look-alike but it only goes to 30 MHz. Big
drawback for me as I also operate on 6 meters.
So, I am back to the MFJ-269. Like 'em or hate 'em, my old
MFJ-259 has provided yeoman service all these years.
That's it for now,
73, Dick, W1KSZ
