I would consider that a pretty poor test of the analyzer. Find a known

good
50 Ohm termination ( at 70cM) and use it to test the analyzer. Although

you
did not state it, I assume you are testing these antennas through a length
of coaxial cable- unless you account for the cable's electrical length and
loss, the readings will not be accurate.

I've tested the other antennas (HF and VHF) at the end of the coax with the
analyzer and they show the same results as on the air tests with the
wattmeter. When I switch to UHF, the results are completly different between
my on the air tests and the analyzer. I'd say this is a good indication of a
problem. I also tested one of the UHF antennas at the antenna, with a small
jumper, about 8 feet in length.
