Best advice is to not drop it. Bad news every time. From there, it
get's sort of "iffy"

I love my MFJ-269.
To fully appreciate it you need to download & study the manual. It
does a lot of things other than what you read in the advertisements.

For instance: All of the coax I have is pretty old. It was top notch
foam insulated Saxton cable and I was using it for 439mhz ATV work
nearly 30 years ago. In spite of age, the MFJ-269 indicates the loss
in 40 meter service is 0.3 db. Nice to know.

Measuring inductance & capacitance is vey simple. I don't spend much
time using it because it is so quick.

Ditto! I believe the manual was written by W8JI
and he did an excellent job.
