[600MRG] Modifying a MFJ259C

Or ... one could spend a little more and get an AIM-4170 ... a real test instrument!

>From John Langridge:

One additional comment I wanted to make about the analyzer is that if Dick 
is going to buy new, he should look at a Rig Expert... They have a variety of 
models and prices but they are far more accurate than the MFJ if he is 
looking for solid numbers. If he had an MFJ already, I would say its worth 
the effort to make the mod, whether it be the invasion mod that I had to do 
on the 259B or the slug adjustment on the 259C... the 259C stops at 500kc 
BUT the slug has enough turns left that you can get enough inductance to 
get down to 472. Quality product, but ballpark numbers. Rig EXpert is 
considerably more expensive but a far superior instrument.

73 and thanks again!
