Default cheep sweep?

hi

So if i buy some coax and want to do a 'sweep test to see if the
connectors and cable is 'ok'

i figured i'd buy a mfj or palastar etc seems most only do hf and
mfj while up to 440 kinda ends there

so i'd like to test up to at least 1.2g

anyone know of any units like the above that are less then the
megabucks pro gear?

thanks

Just for interest did you try my last suggestion with measuring power at
source end load ends?

The problem with cheap gear is of course accuracy. What kind of results
are you looking for? You should be able to measure maybe 0.5dB problems
using power measuring as previously mentioned.
