Anybody happen to have the details of the dipper coils for the MFJ-259B
Antenna Analyzer? Mine have become lost in a garage/workshop cleanout that
went awry.

Need number of turns, coil diameter, coil length if possible. Think I can
remember the rest of the details well enough to rebuild them.

Thanks for your help


Yep!!! My MFJ-259B has lots of guts too.
The dipper coils are used to make the Analyzer operate like a grid dip meter.
Extremely useful for tuning traps, tanks, etc. They are an accessory to the
Analyzer; I think the part number for them is MFJ-66.
There are two coils in the set, one for 1.8 MHz to 50 MHz, the other covers 20
MHz to 170 MHz.

Cheers!

Wow! I learned something today. Even old farts can learn something new.

BTW: my grid dipper is a real grid dipper ... AN/PRM-10. Anybody remember that
old boatanchor?
