RigExpert Stick 230 Antenna Analyzers are very compact and lightweight. They generate their own 0.1 mW signal to measure and report data on SWR (standing wave ratio), return loss, complex impedance (Z, R and X) and other parameters. They can measure antenna systems, cables, filters and more, across the frequency range of 100 kHz through 230 MHz with a 100 point adjustable sweep width as narrow as a 10 kHz. Every Amateur band in the range is a pre-programmed selection, or select any center frequency with any sweep width to be analyzed. A standard SO-239/UHF Female connector at the top of the unit is protected by a handy removable cover.

Here are some of the tasks easily accomplished with Stick 230 Analyzers:

• Rapid SWR and resonance check of an antenna, in the field, mobile or stationary

• Tuning an antenna to resonance with complex impedance readout graphically and numerically

• Comparing characteristics of an antenna before and after a changes or specific events, such as rain, wind or ice

• Measuring capacitance or inductance of reactive loads including coils and capacitors

RigExpert Stick 230 Analyzers are ready for use at home or in the field with the included rechargeable 2800 mAh Li-Ion 3-hour battery pack, or power it with a USB Type-C connection. The easy to read monochrome e-paper screen has 200x200 pixel resolution for quick plot readings. Complete sweep data may be sent by USB-C to a laptop running the downloadable AntScope2 software, via internal Bluetooth capability, or USB-C cable to an Android tablet or smartphone device running the AntScope for Android app (available on Google Play). A USB-C to USB-A cable is included for power, recharge or PC connection for file transfer.
