I am considering purchasing the MFJ-854 RF Current Meter to use in testing
160-190khz LF
antennas, as well as Medfer antennas in the 500-1700khz range. According to
the catalog, the
unit can accurately measure antenna current from 30ma up to 30 amps. It's
range is stated to be
1mhz to 30mhz (but useable well beyond that).
As anyone else used this unit on LF? Are there modifications that would
make it more useable for
Lowfer work? It is priced at $99.95 (US) and I think it would prove very
helpful for improving the
counterpoise, remote beacon antennas (where it is impractical to install a
dedicated RF current
meter, etc.)
Thanks in advance...
