Hello Operators.
antenna analyzers are a critical piece of equipment for any radio operator. In this video, I show you how to set-up the Mini 60 (Sark 100 MR 100 clone) Antenna Analyzer, on an Android smartphone or tablet. You'll also learn how to scan a portion or the entire band, while connected to a magnetic loop antenna.
Here’s a short Rundown of the features which helped me decide on the Mini 60 over a new MFJ antenna analyzer.
- Pocket Sized
- Reasonably Priced
- Wireless connectivity
- Android compatibility and apps
- Internal lithium battery
- External broad voltage DC input
- Rechargeable over USB
An antenna analyzer (also known as a noise bridge, RX bridge, SWR analyzer, or RF analyzer) is a device used for measuring the input impedance of antenna systems in radio electronics applications.
The most common manufacturers of antenna analyzers are MFJ (MFJ Enterprises Inc. MFJ-269), and Rig Expert. Unfortunately, both of these products are outside the reach of most newcomers to amateur radio becasue of their high cost. The Mini60 offers some functionality not found in the more expensive alternatives, such as wireless connectivity, real-time scanning, plotting SWR across the entire HF spectrum in realtime, ...
