I bought the RigExpert 650 from Jeff ABQ Great Unit!! So good that my buddy PNF bought a 55. P.S. Minor correction to an otherwise perfect video: If your antenna is resonant below the intended frequency, you want to raise the resonant freq by shortening the antenna If your antenna is resonant above the intended frequency, you want to lower the resonant freq by lengthening the antenna
Congrats on the purchase! Yes, in the video I said: "So if it's more resonant higher than your operating frequency you need to shorten it. If it's more resonant below your resonant frequency you need to lengthen it." What I meant to say was: "So if it's more resonant higher than your operating frequency it (the antenna) is too short. If it's more resonant below your resonant frequency it's (the antenna) too long." Thanks for the correction.
I have the 230 zoom, what a great analyser, I don't go out portable without it and extremely useful at home 10/10

Great piece of gear. You cant find them used. Ive got my eye on an aa650 zoom.
I LOVE mine. Just bought it. Wish I got the 1500 as I'm making a beam for 1200 MHz.

I have the Rig Expert Stick 500,
very good, having VHF and UHF.
Previously had the Zoom 55. 😅 73 de Ray, since 1962.
Yep, love my Stick 500. It's great for portable ops and in the shack.
