The Ultimate Gadget! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Looks professional, feels professional. Measures SWR, impedance, resistance, reactance vs. frequency and relative fieldstrength. Displays graphical and numerical data on a supertwist LCD. Makes measuring your antenna easy. Found out that 4C6 look-alike ferrite cores from a fleamarket were unusable. You can measure a lot of things with the VIA, the handbook is only basic.
I like the VIA Director software showing graphs on my PC.

Good literature on this subject:
Gerd Janzen, RF Measurements with an Active Standing Wave Ratio Meter, publisher:DARC-Verlag, Baunatal, Germany 1995 ISBN 3-88692-023-2 (out of print but maybe you can find it used) a german version is still available from the author AFAIK.
