Best All Around Bridge Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
Got back on HF in January 2000. Have new rig, station, antennas. How to tune them up. At work I have access to top of line units, but they do not go below 5Mhz. Check the mags, HRO, MFJ. This unit does it all, plus will do grid dip readings with accessory pack. Bought the NiM Batteries, work good, last a reasonable time, forget the nicads. Checked against Marconi/IFR 6202 commercial 5M-DC Light unit. On the money all they way across the band. I do not do 220, so that is not a loss for me. Nice bypass of 3 minute shut down mode for continuous use. It takes 20 seconds to wake up from Off mode. Do not go to field day or anywhere else without one.

nice product for the money Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I have had my MFJ269 for 6 months during which time I used it to put up several dipoles and to align my existing antennas. I find this to be a very nice product for the price. The vernier tuning on mine seems to get very sensitive as one moves up in frequency. Also, the device loves to eat batteries so be aware that you will be going through batteries if you don't use rechargeables or an external power supply.
I find that the frequency counter feature in the unit is ok--its not a precision device and one should not expect it to be for the price. I have dropped mine a couple of times without any damage so its reasonable rugged.
In summary, for the price, you get a very convenient tool for setting up your station. Worth the money.
