    Description

    This is an MFJ model 259 antenna analyzer.  It has been tested and is in good working condition.  Photos show it connected to an antenna to show the meters are working.  I tested it against another analyzer and SWR meter.  This unit is in good working order and has good accuracy.
    MFJ Enterprises MFJ-259 HF/VHF SWR Antenna Analyzer/Meter Ham Radio 1.8-170MHz.
    The MFJ-259 SWR Analyzer is an easy to operate, versatile test instrument for analyzing nearly any 50 ohm RF system on frequencies between 1.8 and 170MHx. In addition it can be used as a signal source and as an accurate frequency counter.  unit can be powered by two 9 volt batteries or a 12vdc wall power cube. (optional).  Manual available free on-line at

    The MFJ-259 combines four basic circuits; a wide range oscillator, a frequency counter, a 50 ohm RF bridge and a calibrated bridge unbalance indicator. This combination of circuits allows measurement of any load connected to the ANTENNA connector. The FREQUENCY switch selects the following frequency ranges:
    1.8-4        MHz
    4-10         MHz
    10-26.2    MHz
    26.2-62.5 MHz
    62.5-113  MHz
    113-170   MHz
    It can be used to adjust or measure the following:
    Antennas   SWR, resonant frequency, bandwidth and efficiency
    Antenna Tuners:  SWR and frequency
    Amplifiers: Input and output networks
    Coaxial transmission lined: SWR, velocity factor, losses and resonance
    Balanced transmission lined: Impedance, velocity factor and resonance
    Matching or tuning stubs:  SWR, resonant frequency and bandwidth
    Traps:  Resonant frequency
    Tuned Circuits: Resonant frequency
    RF chokes and inductors: Self resonance, series resonance and value
    Transmitters and oscillators: Frequency
    I am experienced packing large/heavy items and will pack this item to ensure safe arrival at the winning bidders destination.
    I am an extra class amateur operator.  I test and describe the items I sell to the best of my ability.  If you are not satisfied, you may return the item and I will pay return shipping and issue a full refund including your original shipping cost.
    Buyer pays actual shipping, seller accepts credit cards though Paypal.  Thanks for looking!
    Additional Information regarding my listings:
    I sell primarily used electronic items.   I make every effort to ship within 3 BUSINESS days of receiving payment.  My shipping costs are based on the shipping weight of the item, insurance and the cost of packaging.   Shipping costs are calculated automatically by the eBay shipping calculator The shipping cost shown in the auction is an eBay calculation based on the weight of the item and the geographic location of the bidder.  Please check the eBay shipping calculator to verify shipping costs before bidding.  Inside the US I use Fedex for items over 3lb and USPS priorty mail for items 3lb & under.  All international shipments are by USPS Priority mail international.  International bidders are responsible for all customs fees.  I will not mark items on customs forms as gifts or declare a value lower than the winning bid so please do not ask me to do so.  If there is not a "buy it now" price listed on the item, it means I intend to let the auction run to completion so please do not ask me to end the auction early, that is unfair to other bidders.  If an item is listed as no international shipping, I will not ship it outside of the US but will ship to a US address for international bidders.   I strive to have all my buyers 100% satisfied.  If you have any questions or issues after receiving your item, PLEASE contact me prior to leaving feedback so that I may address them.  As a seller, my policy is that I provide feedback after the buyer leaves feedback.  If you have any questions not answered here, please contact me prior to bidding.  I am a one person operation and will answer all inquiries in as timely a manner as I possibly can.   Thanks again for looking at my item.
    Please note:  I have been experiencing a sharp increase in non-paying bidders.   Once an auction ends, sellers have to pay auction fees based on the amount of the winning bid, REGARDLESS of whether or not the buyer follows through with payment.  When a buyer fails to pay for an item, the only recourse sellers have is to file a non-paying bidder complaint with ebay to have the auction fees paid by the seller refunded.   Ebay allows 4 days for a buyer to make payment arrangements before they allow sellers to open a non-paying bidder complaint.   If I do not receive payment or otherwise hear from a winning bidder within 4 days, a non-paying bidder complaint will automatically be opened by the EBAY automated seller assistant software.
    Shipping Address Information:  I use the eBay seller assistant to print shipping labels.  It copies the address information listed on the buyers eBay/Paypal account.  It is the responsibility of the BUYER to ensure that the address listed on their account is current and correct.  I will not accept responsibility for a shipment being sent to the wrong address if the buyer provides an incorrect address on their eBay/Paypal account.  PLEASE update your account address before bidding and do not send notes, emails, etc expecting me to correct the address that is provided on your account.
