Sk8111107 Hello everyone, I was wondering if using a small network analyzer to measure antenna VSWR requires connecting an old radio. Does anyone know how to modify an old radio?
BH1AYY BI1JNP Strictly speaking, a hand-held rubber antenna requires a simulated test fixture to ensure accurate center frequency. However, this is not a concern for our specific application; but when mass-producing antennas, this is essential.
dovesky You use your thumb and index finger to pinch the metal rod connecting the antenna and the dipole, and then... basically, the results you get are similar to those obtained when using a handheld radio.
