[Elecraft] Antenna Analyzer Redux

[Stephen]

Tom,
	For a moment I was getting excited because I thought Elecraft had
introduced an Antenna Analyser kit! Now that would be a useful addition to
their product line.....
Regards,

Steve

Wow, that's a lot of response in a couple of hours. THANKS to everyone who
took the time to reply.  You guys are the best.

The Tenna Dipper looks too good to pass up.  Gotta have one.  If it works
out I can spend the rest of the money on a 100 watt hat for the K2.

Hello Group,
 
I purchased a 17 m add-on to a Hustler 6-BTV vertical and the instructions
recommended I use an antenna analyzer to tune it up.
 
Having never used one of these I started looking around and got pretty
beaten up with sticker shock - just can't justify spending the bucks some of
these things go for.
 
So, an inexpensive model seems to be an MFJ-259B.  eHam is full of reviews,
and they seem to be either GREAT or DON'T BOTHER.  I know there are some QC
issues with MFJ stuff.  I've had to clean up several of their units over the
years which I actually take some pride in.  They seem to deliver OK once the
cold solders get fixed and the hot glue gets replaced.
 
Anyway, I have enormous respect for the brain trust available on this
reflector and it seems like I know some of you - unlike the more-or-less
disembodied reviews on eHam.
 
Any thouhts about the 259B?
 
Any other suggestions?  - 300 bucks is ALOT more than I would like to spend,
so please don't suggest any of the AEA jobs - I would have to get a second
job.
 
Thanks in advance,
 
es 73
