As much as I have cussed Mississippi's Finest Junk over the years (and they've deserved it, don't get me started), my 259B is a great piece of equipment for its intended use. Mine is still fairly new so I can't speak to it's durability over time, but it has greatly simplified the job of adjusting antennas. For years I used a Palomar noise bridge at home and a few times used Anritsu anlayzers from work with UHF/N adapters, but they didn't much like HF.

I got mine from DX Engineering, and I think they still have them new for under $240.

Never have had my hands on the Autek, though I did research that when I was shopping. I'm not sorry I got the 259B-- though I cannot say that about other things I've bought from MFJ over the years.

[QUOTE="RickC., post: 200414, member: 9297"] As much as I have cussed Mississippi's Finest Junk over the years (and they've deserved it, don't get me started), my 259B is a great piece of equipment for its intended use.
