[Elecraft] Suggestions on Antenna Analyzers

[Edward R Cole]

One comment I would make is having a portable, battery-powered, 
sel-contained analyzer is very handy for checking or tuning antennas 
outside the shack (like on top of the tower troubleshooting high SWR) 
or at Field Day or on your vacation setting up a portable 
antenna.  It was very useful for initial tuning of my 8877 amp.  You 
can check feedlines with antennas connected for impedance issues (aka a TDR).

A VNA at the workbench is also nice but you will need a computer to 
use with it.

I have an old beat-up MFJ-269B (in case anyone wants to know);  I'd 
love to get the VNA2180 for more precise measurements on the 
bench.  Can't have too much test equipment!
