COMET ANTENNA ANALYZER CAA-500MARKII

CAA-500MARKII

The NEW CAA-500MARKII SWR/Impedance Analyzer is finally arriving from the Comet factory!

The new analyzer retains the same analog cross needles to display SWR and impedance, but ADDS a full color TFT LCD display screen providing graphic and numerical SWR along with total impedance with R and X values.

Features:

AUTO SWEEP MODE

Automatically graphs the SWR on the LCD display. Choose any one of the pre-set amateur band frequency ranges and press the sweep button…in about 30 seconds the SWR graph is completed and displayed.

MANUAL SWEEP MODE

Choose the band and manually set the band-width and manually sweep the chosen frequency range.

MULTIPLE MANUAL SWEEPS

Should you want to make an adjustment to the antenna length, to the position, height above ground, a gamma match adjustment, etc…you can overlay 5 manual sweep results in different colors! Instantly graph and see exactly what happened after each adjustment!
