I have had an Autek Research RF1 for many years and been pleased with it. I do wish the on/off switch was such that it could not be turned on by accident. I solved that by cutting a thin piece of wood with holes for the switches and attached it to the unit with a rubber band. Fits in pocket and easy on batteries. I have been thinking of getting the VA1. Seems that there have not been very many comments about Autek Research units on this thread.
