[TenTec] Ten Tec analyzer

I excitedly went to the ten tec website to look at the new analyzer which 
they want $655 for, and immediately read:

USE YOUR PC AS LOW-COST RF VECTOR NETWORK ANALYZER

stopped reading and moved on.

I can't take a PC with me out to an antenna feedpoint.    I don't see a PC 
coming with me up on a roof or tower (assuming I had the nerve to climb one, 
which I don't).   I guess I'm sticking with my old beat up MFJ.   OTOH, as a 
piece of equipment for a bench, it's probably pretty neat for all that it 
can do for homebrewing and design.  It looks like TT used F jacks for the 
RF--the ones normally used for cable TV appliances.  Did I see correctly?   
I wish they had used BNC.
