My experience as a buyer and seller using Paypal over their existence,
before and after Ebay purchased them, is typically less than 24 hours to

I cannot speak to the Amtronix, but I use an Eagle RLB150 and can say
without reservation that it is an
excellent product. I use almost daily for tuning various types of cavities.
In fact if you buy an Aeroflex
(formerly IFR) radio test set, and order the RLB option what you get is an
Eagle.

First thing I would say is that if Rick is selling it, assume it works.
I run an Eagle unit and would be glad to do comparison testing if someone would
like. I have run a number of tests with the Eagle on various pieces of
equipment and could repeat some of the same tests with the Amtronix

Some time ago, someone posted about making their own return loss bridge
using an HP directional coupler. I thought that I'd saved the information,
but cannot find it. The cost was reported to be less than $50 using a

How about this. I'll ask Rick if he'll send me a demo unit, and I'll
compare it to my Eagle, using my VNA as the reference (Agilent E5070B).

That would be ideal. Then everyone would know how the Eagle stands up
against a serious piece of test equipment, as well as how Rick's model does.
I'm betting that Rick's will hold it's own against the Eagle (which I've
always thought was overpriced.)

If you decide to paint it, Rustolium makes a spray can paint specifically
for use on plastic (says so on the front of the can) that really works well.
It comes in lots of colors. Several years ago, I used some to hide some new

Not that I think copper pipe is a good alternative to strap, but Gary's math is
slightly off.
If you are saying 2 inch strap has 4 inches of surface area by counting both
sides of the strap, then you need to count both sides of the pipe. Inside and
outside surfaces of a pipe equal to 5/8OD
