[bars] RigExpert SWR analyzers?

[Jon Turner]

Hi all,
I have an AA-55 Zoom.  It is very easy to use and really helps to improve
your station.  I use it to tune the HF Sticks I use for my mobile.  The
Icom 7100 has no tuner, so this lets you make each HF Stick resonant. I'm
happy to demonstrate at a meeting when it is still light outside.

73,
