[MRCA] 2015 Mini60 HF ANT SWR Antenna Analyzer

[W2HX]

ok thanks, Mike.  For me, I am not too worried about accuracy. I have several VNAs (covering 5 Hz to 6 GHz) with calibration kits for the real accurate stuff hihi. I think a graphical display is very helpful to peak things up which is what I thought was very interesting on this unit.

Eugene,

I don't have experience with this model but since it is autocalibrating I would not trust the accuracy of the readings away from the perfect 1:1 SWR 50 ohm load. To get accurate Impedance readings you want an analyzer where you can perform open , short and load calibrati

I have a cheap Chinese LC meter. It does the job for the price but the buttons and switches are flimsy.

If you want something to indicate a low SWR it would probably fit the bill.

Hi friends. I see this item on ebay and its sold over 100 and thought maybe someone on this list has purchased one. It looks very interesting. Similar to the MFJ Antenna analyzer but with a Bluetooth connection to your android phone to show the graph.  Anyone have any experience with this?
