John, 
    Actually, I have just put up a Sommer Log antenna 2 mo ago, and in the 
tuning process I compared my MFJ to what the Orion showed 75' away.  The SWR 
was very close, one would show 1.4, the other was either 1.3 or 1.5...Pretty 
accurate and the Orion coax line went thru a 2 position switch and about 8 more 
feet of line. I was surprised. Randy

I am having trouble with my MFJ Analyzer and am using the Orion ATU as a 
indication.  I have the latest downgrade 2.063Xg which provides a digital 
reading of VSWR (i.e.  4.8 : 1) on the top right of the screen display.  Can 
any advise on a rough accuracy of this reading.
Also at what point in the circuit is the spectrum display obtaining the 
readings - they are very lively and not sympathetic with the S Meter reading ?
Merry Xmas to you all
John G4BOU
