Neat, So will it be possible to do one scan with a 50ohm load terminating the cable, then do it again with the antenna connected, "subtract" the plots and end up with the antenna characteristics?

It doesn't matter what rig is selected, it will work with any supported rig. You set the start and stop frequencies and step size, then hit Run. The program controls the rig and gathers the data. You can select the parameters to plot either before or after running, and save the plots to a file in CSV format for later recall or export to a spreadsheet. It may be possible to add HRD, but I don't see a linking component for them that accepts all the incoming commands needed. You can see a screen capture of the LP-100 Plot software at www.telepostinc.com/lp100.html, along with a comparison to a couple of antenna analyzers I own as well as my HP87510A VNA. 73, Larry N8LP _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
