[TowerTalk] New antenna analyzer from SteppIR

[K7LXC--- via TowerTalk]

Howdy, TowerTalkians --
 
    I attended a meeting of the Western Washington DX  Club last night and 
the presentation was a new product from the guys at SteppIR,  a local 
company. It's a real nifty antenna analyzer that is small enough to put  in a 
shirt pocket but has lots of features. The basic unit is the SARK 110 which  
until now has not been available in the US. SteppIR will feature the  
nomenclature of VNA 110 (Vector Network Analyzer). They're positioning it as  better 
than an MFJ and much more usable than the Array Solutions VNA 2180 which  
requires a PC to drive it. 
 
    It'll do the usual antenna functions and also  includes a TDR (Time 
Domain Reflectometer) which is invaluable for feedline  problems. It has a USB 
port and is completely computer compatible. The price  will be around $380 
and I don't know when it'll become available. 
 
Cheers,
