RigExpert Stick 230 Pocket Size Antenna Analyzer for 100kHz - 230MHz

I’ve only used it a couple of times. I like the fact that it could read the SWR without the radio on. It also shows me which bands that the antenna would pick up better. I tested it with my hf antenna and as well as my dual band antenna. I’ll test my quad band and my six meter ham stick next. It charges fast, but I probably buy new and a backup battery it. After using it twice, the power level dropped within a half hour. Yes, I would buy another one.

Been a Ham for a short time, 16 years, love QRP and CW, and for that I need a very good Antenna analyzer building antennas and setting up an antenna in the field. For building antennas in my back yard I like using the Comet Original CAA-500 Mark II analyzer and for field work setting up you can not beat the RigExpert Stick 230 it is small, well made rugged, you can see the screen very well even in direct sun light, and the rechargeable battery lasts a long time between charging. I could and have used it for analyzing my home brew antennas it does just as good as my other analyzer, but it shines for taking out on remote operations. Only draw back it took me a bit to get use too the menus, but after a bit you will find it does a whole lot of stuff that will make you grin. Worth the money, get one while you can.

If you think you are going to manually tune an adjustable or coil loaded antenna (i.e. the Wolf River Coil Sporty 40 with 213 inch whip) without this doodad, think again. The graphic e-ink display is superb in bright sunlight and delivers an accurate analysis of your antenna system in under a couple seconds. This is a must have for POTA/SOTA or like activations where time matters. It's a bit pricy, but it is of much better quality than cheap kit/open source alternatives.

Great little tool, new to amateur radio

Work perfect nice analyzer.

Not, good you will have a lot of issues when trying to connect to Bluetooth... App Crashes and Is really unstable..

Company won't fix Bluetooth support. Much feedback has been left from users, but only hear crickets.

Appena aperta la confezione ho notato che l'adesivo proteggi display era già stato staccato e riattaccato. Quando ho fatto il test sulle antenne, non trovava la risonanza. Ho collegato un carico fittizio a 50 OHM e mi indicava R.O.S. infinito. È evidente che lo strumento è guasto. Inoltre la scatola non aveva nessun sigillo di apertura.
