[bars] RigExpert SWR analyzers?

[Dan Trainor]

Hello Andy,  Glad you found manual.  Yeah, would be good topic  for a
lecture or article.  SWR analyzers, for sure so darn useful for
understanding the complete electrical profile of your antenna.  An
essential tool for all that might experiment with antennas and/or want to
improve there system. Or monitor health over time. It really opens your
eyes as to what is happening with your antenna whether your drilling down
on a specific frequency and looking at reactances or looking at SWR plot
and other parameters over a wide span.  If anyone whats to borrow my AA-230
Zoom, to check it out or just use to plot out an antenna, just let me
know.  Regards, Dan WA1QZX
