The rumor going around Pacificon last month is that
it is OK for HF, but the bandwidth of "900 MHz" is
wildly optimistic.  The user interface and documentation
is terrible.  Possibly worth $40 though, if your time isn't
worth much.

Probably, the 900 MHz comes from "that's the range of the oscillator"

I don't know if the software is susceptible to upgrade (and if someone will actually do that) - so the UI could get cleaned up in time.

For HF, things like sweeping a cable to find faults, tuning antennas, etc.
For those kind of applications one doesn't need milliBel (0.01 dB) accuracy, nor huge dynamic range
