Best analyzer for antenna builders
|
Time owned: 6 to 12 months
|
I own an MFJ-259B, an AIM 4170 and the RigExpert.
The MFJ-259 is convenient, but it isn't very accurate or trustworthy, can't sweep or graph, and doesn't give the sign of reactance.
The AIM 4170 is accurate but cumbersome. It belongs on a bench. Using it "in the field" (or the back yard) is a PITA -- hauling your computer around, connecting a power source, and finding a place to set everything down... And my experience -- after dozens of hours of experimenting -- shows that it really doesn't work reliably over long feedlines no matter how diligently you calibrate it.
Then came the RigExpert. This thing is simply AWESOME. It does everything an antenna builder needs, it fits in one hand, it sweeps, it graphs, it's accurate, it'll light up for you if you're working in the dark, it's light and small enough to haul up in the air with your antenna if need be. I love this thing.
If you like to build antennas and end up doing lots of measuring, tweaking and matching outside then you owe it to yourself to get one of these. It makes antenna experimenting even more fun and a lot more productive.

Excellent piece of equipment!

This is a nice piece of equipment!
First day that I recieved it I solved problems with 3 of my antennas.
Solidly built, easy enough to use, easy to read and understand as well as accurate.
Software installed no problems even in Windows 7 64 bit, no driver problems!
I have owned and built other units and finally gave up and bought a good analyzer.
Well worth the money!
