[TowerTalk] New antenna analyzer from SteppIR

[Larry Banks]

Answered my own question.  The SARK 110 is 0.1 to 230 MHz with 1 Hz of 
resolution.  < http://www.sark110.com/ >

Looks like a very interesting item, and I am looking for a replacement for 
my old and broken Autek RF-5!

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,
Steve      K7LXC
