Same here, Steve. No complex Z and I don't see reference to it in the
on-line manual. I was searching for that early this morning. The new
MFJ-266 looks interesting for the price. Not sure as to its accuracy.
Although a bit pricey, it's tough to beat the new VNWA3 for a USB-powered
VNA. Just connect a small netbook PC and the VNWA3. Not exactly ideal for
taking it up a tower, so the new MFJ unit or Autek VA1 looks like a viable
alternative for that purpose *if* it can handle some hard knocks.
I'm currently using an N2PK VNA for transmission measurements, but
unfortunately, it doesn't come assembled. What's kinda' cool is that
plug-in files are available to run VNWA3 software with the N2PK. I
routinely alternate between MyVNA and the VNWA3 software.

It looks nice and small, but the 'killer' for me would be that it
doesn't measure complex impedance ... unless I missed it in the manual!
