[TowerTalk] VNA

[Norm n3ykf]

Bought an Anritsu S113b on the bay. Total with new battery, OSL cal
kit and charger was less than $500. Uses a serial port/null modem for
pc data. 517 data  points. Loads of bells and whistles I.E.: anti
local RFI (dithers the sweep, does some math)

5-1200 MHz, Pro grade gear. Old, but good and still supported by
Anritsu's Line Sweep Tools software.

When the house in FL sells, I think a new Anritsu VNA master is in my
future. Who needs a Mercedes?

Also have a Times Technologies T-100. Another good device. Bad news is
that it covers two bands, VHF and UHF. Otherwise, priceless.
