[TowerTalk] SWR Analyzer / BC Interferance

[Al Kozakiewicz]

The issue with BC interference is going to be common to any analyzer that uses a broadband detector.  The pricier RigExpert devices appear to be VNA type analyzers that incorporate "real" (i.e. selective) receivers and which would be immune to out of band interference. Don't know about the rest.

Do you have a nearby broadcast station? I do not and the MFJ analyzer has
worked fine for me at three different stations.

No issues with AA-54.
Splendid unit.
You might want to look at Sark 110,
an extraordinary unit, well supported.
Sold in US through Steppir.
