Same here. :-)

My "quick and dirty antenna analyzer is still a 10+ year old MFJ-259B. I

I was also going to suggest an MFJ-259B (what I use), but it doesn't cover
the entire freq range specified.
It works for 75 ohms, if you use the digital display rather than the analog
SWR meter and (of course) connect it directly to the feedpoint with a 6"
piece of coax.

Jim just gave you very good advice. It depends on what you are willing to
pay.
