Dave:

     To get to the Advanced Functions mode on the -259, you need to push TWO
buttons simultaneously.  Read the instructions at the top of page 14
immediately underneath the shaded box.  The modes you have listed below are
not Advanced.

Gang.

I went to page 16 of the MFJ-259B analyzer and selected 5.5 distance to
default mode.

This is the mode that tells you the distance to fault in feed.

I pushed the mode button to get to the correct advanced mode.

The 259B went through the following operations...

Capacity
Inductance
freq counter
impedance R & X
coax loss

and then started over so I never find the distance to fault mode in feet

This is supposed to tell me where in the coax I have a problem.  What am I
missing?
