I think the original statement was incorrect. The MFJ-259B does show reactance, both positive and negative, but it does not show polarity, so you have to experiment a little or add some knowledge to find out the polarity of the reactance. That is one of the reasons that the MFJ-259B is not the best antenna analyzer on the market, just a cost effective, but inexpensive antenna analyzer. My German professor when asked to explain how the science students with only 8 hours of German aced the senior German students on a major test "Man muss hab kopf!" which translates to "One must have a head" or better "One needs a brain!"

Gee whiz! That's pretty lame. As my favorite soccer announcer says
