I've been thinking about springing for an MFJ (or other) antenna
analyzer
to check on the myriad antenna's I've got around the place.
I noticed that most of the analyzers on the market (like the MFJ-269,
for ~$350.00)
only go down to 1.8 MHz. I do a lot of work with xtal radio's
(DX'ing), and have a lot of different AM (MW) antenna's strewn about
the property. I was wondering why they cut that portion out of their
instrument? No demand? Too exotic?
Does anyone know if the analyzer could be modified (add some
inductance, etc. somewhere) to bring it down to about 500kc? Thanks!

If you are not adverse to building (I don't know why a ham would be)
look at the N2PK network analyzer. www.n2pk.com
