Hi Darrell,

I have used the Autek VA1 and the MFJ 259B here in 9V for about a year.
Must have gotten a good Autek as it has performed well. All of the MFJ
series I have used in the past and they will do the job but as has been
said, high RF enviornments render it useless.

The MFJ that goes to UHF we used on a field day trip to a remote island just
off 9V and it also did a good job. YMMV but the VA1 goes into a pocket for
a tower climb, is a bit fiddley, but I find I use it more than the MFJ.
