Re: Topband: Handheld Impedance Analyzer

[Robert Harmon <k6uj@pacbell.net>]

Maybe a dumb question but how can you tell the resonant freq with
the AA-54.   I have one and can do the graph and see where it dips to 
the lowest
but havent figured out how to find the resonant freq other than entering 
freqs in the
close by range and find on that has the lowest SWR.   I have the 
MFJ-259B also and
it is no match for the AA-54 but at least when I scan I can find the 
lowest swr point
and then read the frequency.
