Apart from the professional 'lab grade' (and undoubtedly very expensive)
devices made by the likes of Agilent, there are on the amateur market
several antenna analyzers that are more reasonably priced.

I'm currently considering the purchase of such a device, and so...

I'm interested in hearing opinions, pro-con arguments, and/or receiving
pointers to reviews of such devices.

All thoughts and comments will be appreciated, unbiased or not.

Thanks!

Hi, there are quite many choices between tiny hand-held units like Autek
Research VA-1 vector analyzer and computer/laptop connected VNAs like
N2PK VNA which gives more accurate measurements. This last one is
basically a kit, but not too complicated to build at home and is quite
multi-use device.
Both have been useful and done their jobs well.
