    Thanks for the review. Just a quick correction, on the bottom of the unit it has a standard USB type B-Jack connector so this is 5-Volt DC , NOT 12-Volt 🙂

      Also is it rig expert or "rig master""?

    I’ve used the older A-600 but as I’m HF only I’m about to buy the RigExpert AA-35 Zoom, thanks for the video

    Every ham should have or have access to one of these gadgets. They are a must.

    Nice product. I was going to purchase one, but when I see the price I found they were out of my budget. Guess I will have to check my SWR the old fashion way.
    Great videos as usual.
    Have a great break and lots of qrp contacts.

    Thank you for this excellent informative video review.
    I have considered one of these for years but just haven't gotten around to it yet. Will definitely get one this year, thanks again

    I bought this same unit this summer and its great! I don’t know how to use all the features but I’m learning. Thanks for the video Peter.

    Congratulations! I am glad that you use Ukrainian equipment. Very reliable. Simple interface. Wide functionality. A good thing for a radio amateur.

    Now that l am retired, l have just bought one of these, l think a nice science hobby such as antenna modelling should keep me out of trouble.
    Bearing in mind there is no such thing as the perfect antenna, l believe it may be fun, to see how close l can get.👍

    Thanks for the review… I’m wanting an analyser as I’m rather interested in chucking a bit of wire in the air and seeing what comes about and this would be helpful… I was looking at the Comet too but it costs a lot… I’m getting back into radio as life took me away back in the 80s and so much has changed/ developed… and yes, I kept registering my station call sign as I knew that eventually circumstances would allow me back to it.
    So thanks again for the video posts…let us know the QRP results specially how low in power what antenna and how far you managed to go.
    Best wishes to everyone.

    I like the idea of owning a RigExpert, especially considering where it's manufactured as I would like to give them support. But Gosh, it's so darned expensive! So I use a TinyVNA. It washes out in sunlight, and doesn't work I'm certain nearly as well. But it does work on a tight budget, as Santa Claus always seems to "miss" our house every year... All the Best! 73 DE W8LV BILL

      Cheers Bill. Ham radio is all about using what you have and can afford.

    • @David-km8in
      @David-km8in 11 місяців тому +1

      Yes, that was what I was going to do. Get a nano vna. But our radio said I could borrow one.

    Nice review! Can this device measure the resonant frequency of a crystal oscillator (~70 MHz)?

    Reduced summer pricing at Dxengineering! Love it. Adequate screen size and UI is much better than with the Sticks unless you enjoy pushing multiple tiny buttons and enjoy the tiny screen size. BT to scan SWR at the antenna while you’re adjusting it is great!

    Is size the major difference between the 230 Zoom and the Stick 230?

    • @watersstanton
      @watersstanton  7 місяців тому +1

      …… and the display size but I have never had one to check.

    How do I get service for my AA-230Zoom? I have emailed the US/Canada office several times and no answer. I have also emailed the Ukraine office and no answer. Please my RigExpert needs service. I can't get ant response from Rigexpert.

    • @watersstanton
      @watersstanton  4 місяці тому

      First step is go to the dealer you purchased it from.

    Rig-expert is all about the name and not technology. The current pricing along makes is a gold plated waste of non-professional test kit.

      Can you suggest a less expensive and equally capable alternative?

    • @softwarephil1709
      @softwarephil1709 8 місяців тому

      RigExpert has multiple models. The low end models have reasonable cost. They are all well made, capable instruments.

      I’m in army signals so I guess I’d be both an amateur & a professional, and you wouldn’t get professional spec (or God forbid Mil-Spec) for anything close to what a RigExpert costs

    Sounds great Peter but it does not speak so no good for white stick operators!!!!

    • @watersstanton
      @watersstanton  11 місяців тому

      Yes, I agree. That would be a great help to many hams. Maybe it will come.
