MFJ-269C Instruction Manual LF/HF/VHF/UHF SWR Analyzer

5.5.1.2

DTF Coaxial lines

Coaxial line placement is not critical -- you may lay in a pile or coil it on the floor. Use internal batteries
or external power to run the analyzer, and place it on any convenient surface (conductive or not). Connect
coaxial lines normally, with the shield grounded to the outside of the connector.

5.5.1.3

DTF Antenna Length

To measure the electrical length of wire antennas (longwires, dipoles, Beverages), connect through a good
broadband matching transformer -- or by connecting directly to the analyzer's

Antenna

port.

To ensure accuracy, avoid using any appreciable lengths of feedline (more than 1/32 wl) between the
analyzer and the antenna. While measurements can be made with a transmission line connected between
the antenna and analyzer, false zero reactance crossings will be introduced from line mismatch. Watching
the SWR meter will help you weed-out false reactance nulls when measuring antennas through a
transmission line.

To determine antenna length, treat the antenna like a transmission line, following the procedure for
measuring

Distance To Fault

. For a dipole, your result will be the electrical length of one leg. For a

longwire or Beverage, it will be electrical length for the entire antenna.

5.5.1.4

DTF Measurement Procedures

Distance to Fault

is the first measurement mode in

Advanced-2

. To enter the mode, press and hold the

Mode

and

Gate

buttons until

Advanced-2

appears on the screen. From other Modes, step through the

menu holding the

Mode

and

Gate

button.

The first menu that appears is:

The

Gate

button increases Vf,

Mode

decreases it.

1.

Set the

Vf

to the factory specified velocity factor of the transmission line. This data is required to for

Physical Length

calculations that will be displayed later. For

Electrical Length in Feet

, set Vf to unity

(1.00).

Note:

An

Incorrect

Vf

setting will not cause an errors in electrical measurements such as

Length in

Degree.

However it

will

cause an error in physical length calculations, such as

Dist. to Fault

.

2.

After setting the

Vf

, press

Gate

and

Mode

simultaneously to lock-in the value. The display indicates:

and after a few seconds changes to (sample screen):
