Disclaimer: I'm just a satisfied customer :)

Rovers, you need one of these things! I built one a few months back,
used it to look at all the leakage from my microwave oven (the jitney
was torn apart at the time), and put it in a storage puka in the back
of the van. Pulled it out Saturday and started to play .. what a very
useful device for the test-equipement-poor rover. Was able to verify
that 903 was down, and then verify that the 903 transverter really was
working and that it was the amp that was trashed. I've got one of the
PCB log periodics on the high-band port, and it works fine through
10Ghz .. used it later to determine 5G wasn't making juice, found the
loose SMA, verified juice now present. Nothing like *knowing*
something is coming out of that aluminum ..

Well worth the $100 kit (DEM) price ..
