I meant to say NOT overly complicated.

Thanks for the additional information Jim.  I may buy one.

I just watched a couple of NanoVNA H4 youtube videos.  That looks like a
nice little antenna analyzer that is overly complicated if you just want to
see the SWR curve.

Or get something like a NanoVNA, which has a narrow band receiver. 
Although, I suppose you could saturate the mixer if you have a strong 
enough signal. But you'll know it if that occurs, because the S11 
magnitude will look pretty wonky (spikes where a harmonic of 
interference happens to mix with a harmonic of the LO).

The NanoVNA H4 (with the 4" screen) is $80 from R&L.
