Broad-band Voltage Detectors and External Interference: Laboratory grade network analyzers use expensive high-selectivity gain- stabilized receivers to avoid off-frequency interference and ensure measurement accuracy. Building these sophisticated detectors into the MFJ-269C (or any small handheld unit) would drive the price far beyond the reach of most hobbyists. As an alternative, we use broadband detectors that provide accurate measurements at a much lower cost. The only drawback is that broadband detectors can be sensitive to powerful out-of-band signals.
