AA-30 Antenna Analyser Keith GW4OKT

Designed for testing/tuning antennas & feed- lines Graphical SWR & impedance display Reduced time to test/adjust antenna Easy to use measurement modes

Useful for making coaxial stubs Cable fault location Measuring capacitance or inductance of reactive loads Range 0.1 – 30MHz (1kHz resolution) SWR range 1:1 – 10:1

Setting the frequency Main menu of the A-30

Scan SWR SWR Graph [4]

Spot frequency Single - point frequency screen [7]

Show all mode [8] Shows: SWR |Z| (magnitude of impedance) and active (R) and reactive component (X) Plus L or C

R,X Graph R, X Graph [5]

Help Screen Help screen from one of the measurement modes

Precautions Hates static electricity, so don’t leave connected to antenna after use Ground cable before testing Never inject a signal into the analyser
