Re: Which Antenna Analyzers
yeah that is pretty sweet Im a techy guy and the graph is the selling point for me but 400 bones made my Sphincter tighten......MDYoungblood wrote: ↑July 13th, 2020, 7:13 pm I have a MFJ-259B , do like it but I want to upgrade,, been looking at the Comet CAA-500MKII. It really depends on how many bands you want, if you only are doing the CB bands then the Rig Expert AA-35 ZOOM has enough frequency range, the AA-230 will let you do 2m, 6m, and 1.25cm ham bands if you want antennas there. I don't think I'll ever go above 70cm ham band so the Comet is the one for me.

There's a couple used 259B's listed on the auction site...but they are asking as much for them as what they cost New...mater-a-fact, one of them is listed for "more" than what I paid for mine New.Gunner357 wrote: ↑July 13th, 2020, 7:59 pmagreed Jesse I think ill see if i can find a preowned MFJjessejamesdallas wrote: ↑July 13th, 2020, 7:58 pm Heck, I still haven't figured out everything the 259B does yet, I'd really be lost with these new analyzers.

Recently I've had use of a friend's RigExpert AA-600 and, if I were to start over, that's what I'd buy, simply because of the range of functionality and the ability connect it to a PC with a very good interface. I had occasion to correspond with their Ukraine-based Head of Tech Support, Alex Antonov, and he was extremely helpful. It's a refreshing change to talk with a support person who is qualified and knows the product line inside out.

Where did you buy it?I received the AA55zoom Rigexpert and it was DOA
My experience with RigExpert is that they are very well constructed and, as I have mentioned elsewhere, their technical support (based in Ukraine) is excellent.

OK, so not from a shop, so no warranty. Sounds like the seller or someone else has 'been at it'.
Hope you manage to get it sorted. If not, I suggest that you contact RigExpert directly. My experience is that they help you.
