While it is possible that your analyzer isn't working, it is also possible
that you do have some wild variances in impedance with your current setup.
I
took a look at the return loss of one of my antenna systems with a
tracking
generator/spectrum analyzer combination, and did see some multiple
resonance
nodes. This measurement was done, using a Narda directional coupler, which
is flat out to 12GHz, as measured on an HP 8753E Network Analyzer.
Some sort of transfer standard such as an accurate 50 Ohm load would
verify
if your analyzer is bad.

Considering that all 3 antennas showed appropriate SWR readings on their
respective frequencies on my wattmeter with on-the-air tests, and the
analyzer showed wild SWR readings on the same frequencies, I'd say the
analyzer is at fault. Works perfectly at HF/VHF, so I basically have an
MFJ-259 in an MFJ-269 shell until they fix it.

UPS picked it up yesterday. Hopefully I will hear something within the next
2 weeks.
