Why would anyone connect that antenna analyzer to a transmitter (unless using the BNC?) Good question. I asked the same question when we discovered that the radio clubs Kenwood something HF transceiver had most of the components in the receiver front end vaporized or incinerated after a contest weekend. My best guess(tm) is that someone plugged one of the tangled mess of coax cables lurking behind the bench, into a live transmitter, thinking it was an antenna cable. Few of cables are labeled. Of course, nobody will admit to doing it. My guess(tm) is that something like that happened with the MFJ. Incidentally, in the box with the MFJ-269 was an N-male to UHF-female adapter, which brings back the possibility of an ESD discharge when the center pin was connected first. -- # Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D Santa Cruz CA 95060 # 831-336-2558 # http://802.11junk.com # http://www.LearnByDestroying.com AE6KS |
