Antenna Analyzer Kit AAZ-0912 Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Great little kit, the electronics side is easier than the computer side and I'm good with PC's. This kit connects via USB and usually requires a firmware update which like the software is free. Kit was $54 plus shipping. Nice printable plots. Updates in real time so you can look at the monitor as you tune the antenna. Great for optimizing dipoles at home and the Hamsticks in the car.

All the info is on the site, just not together so to speak. This is a growing pain that will likely improve with time. Also watch out on XP, 7 is much easier.

Fox Delta Antenna Analyzer AAZ-0912 Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
The Fox Delta AAZ-0912 Antenna Analyzer comes in two flavors, one with the surface mount components already installed or you can solder them yourself. I don't have to tools for surface mount so I ordered the kit with them already installed.

All the parts were present and accounted for, the instructions are pretty straight forward. There is a small test procedure that can be done with a simple volt meter before installing any IC's.

The kit went together easily (I've built a few kits in my time) and everything tested fine. After IC installation you will need to upgrade the firmware which is also a simple process and do a quick calibration of the unit which again is not hard. I connected it to my HF antenna and the software fed the information I already knew but I wanted to test it on a known source.

Bottom line - easy to build, worked perfect first time out, all parts accounted for and they even throw in a box to mount it in. I would definitely purchase another kit from Fox Delta.

sc2 Sound Card Interface Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Very good components, outsanding PC Boad, glass fiber, two sides, fully tinned holes, well designed.
Very well packed, but: No Instructions Manual, when and why position DIP Switches are to be set for and what to do with the Delay and Battery contacts. Good only for people with enough knowledge. Despite of that, strongly recommended, but have patience, Indian Mail might make you upset.
