its not recommended to use battery ?
Once your antenna is tuned we don't need this unit for more then a year unless necessary .keeping this unit idle for a long time may cause battery leak problem , its need regular proper charge and over charge may explode the battery.
its advised to use battery only on field use and remove it after.
With Low battery, tuning of antenna may cause false readings
the AC Adapter can be used if 230V power available.

Rs6000 x 25Nos =Rs150000/- I need to get a a bank loan for these, Hi Hi
DeleteHi Ganesan !
ReplyDeleteCongrats and cute Analyser !
Please take my order too..
All the Best!
ReplyDeleteGood and congrats
ReplyDeleteVery useful tool. Congratulations
ReplyDeleteUseful device but moderate cost. Gr8 Ganesh! 73. De VU3LRV
ReplyDeleteWnderful development OM Ganesan. A very handy tool for all hams.
ReplyDeleteWonderful Antenna Analyzer. Today tested Dipole Antenna at home QTH of Atanu Dasgupta VU2ATN in Gurgaon. Excellent craftsmanship by VU3GEK. Thanks. De VU2OEC, Rajesh Chandwani
ReplyDeleteBought mine a while back (April'17), now been using this analyzer for some time now.
ReplyDeletePCB build quality is professional. The metal case it is built into, gives it a solid feel. It is user friendly, no need to have manual. Simple to operate. Giving reasonably accurate readings. Good performance @ price. This unit is a great tool for any ham radio operator.
Overall - recommended.
Regards,
Mak
GEK 60MHZ HF ANTENNA ANALIZER is a essential tool in the shack. Good performance and easy to carry for field day. The cost affordable to any one. I wish soon VHF antenna analyser GEK will give to Hams. Subu, VU2NSL, COCHIN 9447434822
