    Cool build. I built one over the summer. Was a fun project. Was interesting to see that almost any wire I used in testing became an antenna.

    the icing on the cake would have been a listing of parts and sources. good vid!

    That would be very useful for comparing HT antennas. Great video Ape.

    Supercool Mr Ape! Put some woodgrain vinyl on it and it'll look like it is 1970's NOS Radioshack gear!👍🤠

    One useful ham tool Ape! Tnx for sharing Sir! Back in the day, I used it to see the difference between vertical and horizontal polarization of an antenna. 73 - KF6IF

    Great tool for you icom guys who fight that nasty RF getting into your SDR front end radios 📻😊also a Tiny SA ultra will also help when hunting specific frequencies.

    Nice build Ape. A very useful (I dear say essential) tool when playing with antennas. SWR isn't nearly as important as field strength. A dummy load has perfect SWR, but zero field strength. 73

    Always enjoy your build projects. I've been counting all your different multimeters; I think I'm up to 492...am I close?

    First! I still haven't put mine in the box. I did wrap mine in gaffer tape.

    Can something similar be done to limit the FSM to a specific frequency range? Curious.

  • @seniorchief48

    Could this be incorporated into a fox hunt yagi setup?
