Thank you! Finally! Finally someone made a video about this super-useful test! I think it is much more practically relevant than trying to measure the SWR on a rubber duck. Besides, some antennas simply don't fit some radios without you realizing it. Using this FSM test will tell you right away. I also have the unamplified version (SS10). Find it easier to use. The amplified one (SS11) is too sensitive - have to put it so far away that I can't see the needle:) Another "useful use" of these is to test how well your antennas receive. Just put your ant on the SMA connector of this meter. I dial my SS10 to about 9 o'clock and transmit from about 6 feet away. A little closer than Sweden:)

Hey thanks for the great comment! I really appreciate that. I plan on doing quite a bit more of that kind of stuff when I can find time. And yes that's very true there's lots of good uses for those things and I find it entertaining.
