It is worse than that though. Two needle meters, and a brand new jumper
cable, and the results are the same - nearly 2:1. The MFJ analyzer just
doesn't have enough output power to overcome the coax and/or corrosion
losses, so appears better than it is.
Best to take the MFJ to the roof and plug in directly.
