Default Rigexpert AA-200 antenna analyser

Fair enough, Doc. That's why I went for the MFJ in the first place.
It's not heavy, comes with its own carrying case with shoulder strap and its
very portable.
I don't know where you get the need for a computer from.
You don't need a PC to use the AA-200. Its a added bonus if you want to
connect it to a computer but you don't need to.
In fact, apart from testing the software and updating the firmware I haven't
found the need to use the computer with it since. Not for what I need it for
at the moment. This will probably change over time.
I get all the readings on the display of the AA-200 itself. So I get the
best of both words.

For what it's worth...

I own an MFJ analyzer, not the RigExpert AA-200. Why? 'Cuz I can
afford it, can't afford the RigExpert. While extreme accuracy would
certainly be nice, I just don't have a need for that accuracy. If it
get's into the ball park, that's usually close enough. The MFJ thingy
is also a bit more convenient for me to use, no need for a computer,
doesn't weigh a ton, and I can afford it. Is it the best?
(Qualified) NO! But it works. Would I like to have that RigExpert
AA-200? Sure! But not enough to buy one. Ahem... if someone should
decide to give their's away.... (hold my breath, right?)
