RigExpert MATCH Upgradeable Antenna and Cable Analyzers are designed to revolutionize the way you analyze and fine-tune antennas and cables. Featuring innovative technology, these analyzers offer the flexibility to upgrade as your needs evolve, ensuring they remain a valuable tool for both current and future projects.

The RigExpert MATCH Upgradeable Antenna and Cable Analyzer is a state-of-the-art solution designed to meet the diverse needs of modern radio professionals and enthusiasts. Engineered to be powerful, yet intuitive, MATCH is more than just a tool; it’s a versatile companion built to grow with you. With innovative upgradeable architecture, MATCH ensures you stay ahead in the ever-evolving field of radio frequency (RF) technology.

The REU-MATCH Base model can measure SWR (standing wave ratio), return loss, cable loss, and other critical parameters in the range of 100 kHz to 75 MHz. Every MATCH device includes this initial setup functionality. Additional licenses (sold separately) can enhance MATCH, expanding the frequency range up to 230 MHz with the Advance license and up to 500 MHz with the RFE license, along with added features for each upgrade.

RigExpert License Upgrade Path to additional features and expanded specs.

Choose to start with the Base model, then invest in additional features or licenses as your requirements evolve, rather than committing to a fully featured device upfront.

• REU-MATCH, Base model: Features coverage from 0.1 - 75 MHz, and has essential functionality. Unlock advanced capabilities as your needs grow.

• REU-MATCH-ADV, Advance License: Extend your range up to 230 MHz for precise HF and VHF band measurements and access advanced features.

  • Important! this (MATCH-ADV) upgrade MUST be installed prior to installing the REU-MATCH-RFE upgrade.

• REU-MATCH-RFE, RFE License: Ideal for professionals and RF enthusiasts, this license expands the operational range to 500 MHz, delivering high-performance antenna and cable analysis for complex RF systems.
