Rig Expert AA-230 ZOOM BT Antenna Analyzer with Bluetooth

This analyzer is designed for measuring SWR (standing wave ratio), return loss, cable loss, as well as other parameters of cable and antenna systems in the range of 100 kHz to 230 MHz. The built-in ZOOM capability makes graphical measurements especially effective. An integrated TDR (Time Domain Reflectometer) mode can be used to locate a fault within the feedline system.The following tasks are easily accomplished by using this analyzer:

• 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 stubs or measuring their parameters
• Cable testing and fault location, measuring cable loss and characteristic impedance
• Measuring capacitance or inductance of reactive loads

Your lab in the field – the highest frequency antenna analyzer with Bluetooth The RigExpert AA-230ZOOMBT Antenna Analyzer has new Bluetooth v4.0 BLE wireless communications technology (Bluetooth Low Energy) , adding functionality and new applications for this popular device.  Thanks to its ability to work in conjunction with a smartphone, tablet, netbook or laptop that is equipped with Bluetooth, the RigExpert AA-230ZOOMBT antenna analyzer is truly “your laboratory in the field.”In addition to Bluetooth, this model has all of the capabilities of the original AA-230ZOOM:- 100 kHz to 230 MHz- 1 Hz resolution- Measurement of 25, 50 75 and 100-ohm impedance systems– 290×220 color TFT display– 18-keys waterproof keypad– Multilingual menus and help screens– USB connection to a personal computerIncluded in the package:- RigExpert AA-230 ZOOM with BLE built-in (Bluetooth Low Energy)- N Male SO-239 Female adaptor- USB cable- Soft case- User’s manual- Four AAA Alkaline batteriesAll specifications are listed below.NOTE: The manufacturer’s website titles this product as “RigExpert AA-230 ZOOM Option BLE” which is intended to indicate that Bluetooth v4.0 capability is built in. It is not an accessory item that requires additional purchase or installation. Bluetooth capability is not available as a separate item and it cannot be added to the original RigExpert AA230-ZOOM.

Download and install the Android application for your smartphone/tablet or AntScope2 for your netbook or laptop to enable these features:

• operate the analyzer remotely
• galvanically isolate the analyzer from the computer device
• see the characteristics of your antenna in more detail
• locate cable faults in TDR mode
• share measurement results through social networks
