<div dir="auto"><div>Hi all,<div dir="auto">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.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">73,</div><div dir="auto">Jon T</div><div dir="auto">AC1EV</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Mar 29, 2019, 2:44 PM Dan Trainor <<a href="mailto:dptrainor@gmail.com">dptrainor@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">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.

No need to fool with a transceiver and SWR meter. These things connect to your coax and almost instantly show you how well your antenna will resonate on a particular band or bands!</div><div dir="ltr">Andy</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br>On Mar 29, 2019, at 1:55 PM, Andy Wallace <<a href="mailto:soldersmoke01@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">soldersmoke01@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Great, thanks, Dan.
