[Elecraft] Antenna Analyzers

[Dick Harms PA2DW]

Hi Steve,

I personally have no bad experiences with MFJ antenna analysers at all. On
the contrary! In our city-club Leiden we have a MFJ-259B that goes from
station to station and is highly appreciated by all of us. And believe me,
there are some around here (excluding me of course hihi...) that really know
what they are doing!

Wishing you all succesfull antenna measurements. Meanwhile I will play
around with my "new" KX1, which just arrived last wedenesday from N7BNT.
Maybe some remembered my plea for a deal with a FT817? Well this list made
two people happy again; Doug's son and me ;)

Best 73, Dick PA2DW

There is an interesting piece in the May 2005 QST. It has product reviews
on four different antenna analyzers.

Two that were included are the MFJ-269 and the Autek VA-1. I have heard
endless horror stories from many hams about both, abysmal quality control,
virtually useless tech support and so on. None of these negatives are
mentioned in the QST product review.

There is also a new product favorably mentioned in the review, the Palstar
ZM-30. Since the MFJ and the Autek are apparently both junk, despite being
favorably reviewed in this article, I'm not sure whether I can trust the
product review on the Palstar.

Anybody have any experience with it? Is it any good?

73,
