Is there an MFJ in the UK?
==================================
No ,you probably have to return it to the UK importer Waters & Stanton.

I have used the MFJ259 (bought in the USA) for many years with an
external small Sealed Lead Acid battery .
I find it a very useful piece of equipment to test antenna matching
units and resistors/capacitors used for RF purposes . Also stubs and
coax cable.

It is also used whenever a UK Foundation Licence trainee in my area
needs to do an antenna assessment eg plotting the SWR curve of a wire
dipole with the exercise to be repeated with a slightly shorter dipole
,showing a shift of the SWR graph towards a higher frequency.
All this is done with a dipole for 28 MHz.
