[TowerTalk] Portable analyzers

[Roger (K8RI) on TT]

I don't even bother with the portable ones any more as an AIM will give 
me all the numbers at each ens and along the coax, unless working at the 
antenna.  As I can't climb any more, that's not very often. With the 
AIM, I can see how little loss there is with as many as 10 UHF 
connectors in one HF run.
