RigExpert Stick 500 Antenna & Cable Analyser

The RigExpert Stick 500 is a compact, handheld vector network analyser covering 0.1 to 500 MHz — ideal for amateur radio operators and antenna builders who need accurate SWR, impedance, and cable measurements across HF and VHF in the field. Like all Stick analysers, it delivers 16 hours of continuous operation on a single Li-ion charge, and its slim 185 × 40 × 33 mm form factor makes it easy to carry to any site, in any weather.
