as I remember it, chuck olson stopped building those very soon after this 
info was sent to this list.
or perhaps my memory is somewhat spungated? you know? full of holes but 
still holds allot?  perhaps it was the guy who was installing the board in 
the MFJ 209 that stopped doing it shortly after, and perhaps chuck still 
offers the Mcount freq counter?
either way, I'd like to find someone able to put these components 
together...the 209's are dirt cheap when you can find them now because 
they're so outdated compared to the newer MFJ analyzers.
I seem to remember that the 209 was the last generation of the analyzers 
that could be modified with the audio nul and Mcount counter as well.
