Hi Dan.
This is just my opinion.
I like the nanovna because I can give it a frequency range and see where
the antenna is resonant at, instantly. With the MFJ-2XX, i had to tune
around to find that info. I feel like I get a better picture as to what is
happening. I also feel like the nanovna provides more functionality.
I have owned the MFJ-259x & the 269x. They are great, IMO, but I also like
that the nanovna is cheaper & has a higher frequency that it can be used
for.
If I break the nanovna, it doesn't hurt as much & I can get the latest
model (actually, probably 3 nanovnas to 1 MFJ).

I am preparing to purchase my first antenna analyzer product. I have an
old MFJ-209 which has neither meters nor frequency readout. I love to
build antennas, especially for my ham club.
Can any of you give a reason pro or con as to why nanovna vs MfJ 259
series. I presume many are nanovna users due to the lower cost. Is there
any tradeoff that would discourage either?
