CAA-500MARKII SWR/Impedance Analyzer
Highly accurate analog cross needles display SWR and impedance simultaneously.
Full color TFT LCD display screen provides 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.
MANUAL SWEEP MODE
Choose the band, manually set the band-width you desire, then manually sweep the chosen frequency range.
MULTIPLE MANUAL SWEEPS
Should you want to make an adjustment to the antenna length, the position, height above ground, a gamma match adjustment, etc… you can overlay multiple manual sweep results in 5 different colors! Instantly graph and see exactly what happened after each adjustment!
