[600MRG] question abt MFJ259b mod

[Neil Klagge]

I got an MFJ 259B not too long ago and modified it for LMF (630 meters). I
have tried several different amounts of extra inductance (inserted into the
traditional spot on the PCB) but all of them have given me false frequency
readings in some parts of the range, i.e. the freq reading is exactly twice
the actual oscillator frequency.

My question is: Has anyone else modified the 259b (not the 269) and
experienced anything like this???

If you did the mod on a 259 or 259b and it worked just fine, I would also
like to know about that.

Thanks for any/all reports about this.
