NJQRP Clubs Antenna Analyzer Project
This
is a handy tool to have in the shop, and it was a kit too!
101 Uses, well maybe not, but this is a well thought out unit, and simply a joy to use.

The American QRP Club offered a third kit build of their
Micro908 antenna analyzer kit. I ordered one with the
DSP audio option. This is an advanced kit, as it has lots of
surface mount parts. I built most of the kit as per the plans. I
had some problems with my initial testing, but it turned out that
my unit had came pre loaded with an old software version. Once I
loaded the new software things worked great. I also had a problem
with the DSP option in that I could not load any software to the
DSP. There where actually some of the surface mount components that
where pre-instaled on the board. There was a bad solder connection
on the IC that was pre installed. Once I found the problem it
worked fine.
