RigExpert Stick 230

RigExpert Stick 230

Small. Handy. Powerful.

The analyzer is designed for measuring SWR (standing wave ratio), return loss, as well as other parameters of cable and antenna systems in the range of 100 kHz to 230 MHz.

The following tasks are easily accomplished by using this analyzer:

• Rapid check-out of an antenna in the field or stationary conditions.
• Tuning an antenna to resonance.
• Comparing characteristics of an antenna before and after a specific event (rain, hurricane, etc.).
• Measuring capacitance or inductance of reactive loads.
