Selling my as-new Autek RF1 RF Analyst.

The new price $139.95  Asking $100. shipped in cont USA.

 From the Autek Web Site:

The pocket-sized RF1 is designed to check and adjust antennas, 
feedlines, and RF networks. It includes a microprocessor, A/D 
converters, and a low-power "transmitter" with 4 digit frequency 
readout, continuously variable from 1.2 to 35 MHz in 5 bands.

It measures RF values of true impedance (0-2000 ohms), SWR (1 to 15:1), 
C (0-9999pF) and L (less than 0.04 to 300 uH). L and C are measured at 
the RF frequency of interest, not at 1 KHz or 100 KHz as on other 
meters. So the effects of stray capacitance, toroid parameters, and 
other frequency-dependent factors are taken into account. The RF1 can 
even measure the inductance of less than 1/2" (1 cm) of straight wire!
The RF1 is truly pocket size. 4.5 x 2.5 x 1.5 in. The battery pack on 
other units is actually larger than the entire RF1! The RF1 runs off a 
single 9 volt battery in a real battery compartment on the back with a 
pushoff cover...similar to a TV remote control.A standard 9 V alkaline 
battery has a life of about 5-10 hours, and can be replaced in seconds. 
In addition, the unit turns itself off after about 20 minutes if no 
buttons are pushed. (The auto-off feature can be disabled if desired.) 
All parameters are read out digitally for highest accuracy. The RF1 is 
extremely easy to use. Its large 1/2" LCD display is not washed out in 
sunlight..it loves sunlight. And it can cycle between several measured 
values so you can watch them together.
