A-170 is a continuation of the development of models AA54 and AA30

RigExpert AA-170 is a powerful antenna analyzer designed for testing, checking, tuning or repairing antennas and antenna-feeder paths in 0.1 to 170 MHz range.

Graphical SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) and impedance display is a key feature of this analyzer which significantly reduces time required to put an antenna to rights.

Easy-to use measurement modes, as well as additional features such as memory storage and connection to a personal computer, make it attractive for professionals and hobbyists.

The following tasks are well-accomplished by using RigExpert AA-170:

• Rapid check-out of an antenna
• Tuning an antenna to resonance
• Comparing characteristics of an antenna before and after specific event (rain, hurricane, etc.)
• Making coaxial lines or measuring their length (with PC software)
• Measuring capacitance or inductance of reactive loads
