[Elecraft] Antenna Analyzer

[GRANT YOUNGMAN]

Hi, Ronnie …

There are a bezillion to choose from — big, small, graphical, TDR, need a computer or pad,  etc, as others have pointed out.

Another one you might consider is the iP30z (or iP60z) retailed through Buddipole.  They’re a bit pricey compared to some options, but they have the advantage of being small enough to squeeze into virtually any bag or a shirt pocket, lightweight (7 oz) and do everything you need in the field — SWR, |Z|.  All the advanced features that have been mentioned are good to have now and then, but if you’re looking for small and imminently packable for a hike into a noise free park or a walk to the beach, as I was, it’s a good choice.  Quick, easy, simple — and you don’t have to pack the manual to figure it out :-)

The first week of november I took it with me to a  cabin I leased outside of Gatlinburg, TN for some portable operating when I wasn’t up in the mountains hiking. I took m y Super Antenna MP-1 plus the parts to throw up a full wave loop for 40M. I did throw the loop up, and it out performed the MP-1 by kudo’s.  But it struck me that it might be nice to add a small antenna analyzer to my kit.
