[Elecraft] RE: [QRP-L] Antenna Analyzer

[Don Wilhelm]

Kurt,

I have recently built the Micro908 and am finding it a useful tool -
especially the ability to scan the antenna response and plot it on the
computer.

I also have an MFJ259 that I have been quite satisfied with.  I will keep
the MFJ for now along with the Micro908 - at least until I become more
familiar with the Micro908.  At present, I have found that the Micro908 did
not give me as close an indication when measuring a half-wave of coax as I
could get on the MFJ259, but then this is an issue that I want to resolve -
theoretically, the Micro908 should provide the same capabilities as the
MFJ259 (up to its 30 MHz upper frequency limit).

73,
Don W3FPR
