I can't tell you where to buy, but can tell you my experience with their
VHf/UHF model.
When I received it I found out that the software does not control this model
as it does the HF- it simply allowed plotting. Nowhere was this revealed in
their literature. I used my set of Hewlett Packard precision terminations to
check the AEA calibration. On VHF, best return loss (VSWR) was at 62.5 Ohms.
On UHF it was 75 OHms. When I called AEA to ask about this, I was told "that
is about what you should expect from a $500 instrument. I sold it at the
next hamfest and bought an Autek unit.

Huh ?!
And what about the HF model ?
I read lot of good feedbacks on eham.net.

As I stated before, I never owned that one- but given their attitude, I
never will.

I have their CIA-HF and their TDR. I have found them to be very good
value.

I have made no attempt to use their computer interfaces.

As far as I am concerned, they are the cat's meow. 73 Mac

Thank you for your answer.
I emailed AEA Technology (the new name for AEA Wireless) and they sell
directly to customers.
