Default MFJ Antennae analysers? VNWA?

Despite its high price and snazzy interface, does it provide any more
useful information then the tried-and-trusted (transistorised!) GDO?


That depends on whether or not you have the skills to utilize the
information such devices provide.


Most of the hams I have seen with the MFJ do not have the skills to really
use it and a simple swr meter would do just as well or beter for them.


That's a sad comment and contrary to my experience, though most of the
hams I know are also engineers or technicians in real life.
