For a bargain approach, you might consider an antenna noise bridge instead of an analyzer. Used in conjunction with your receiver or transceiver (no transmitting needed), you can readily find the antenna resonant frequency. If you want to know resistance, capacitive reactance, and

Hi Kurt, I'd vote for the Micro908 (only three kits left!). I built a Round 1 kit and learned a lot doing so. As far as performance, I'm comparing it to the RF-1. The 908 is so much easier to use, and I feel provides better results (closer to anticipated design values). One of the great things

You can determine the sign of the reactance by simply tuning higher in frequency. IF the reactance increases it is inductive, if it DECREASES, it is capacitive reactance. Remember the basic formula for inductive is Xl = 2Pi fL, while the inverse formula is for capacitive reactance, thus it
