i repair, refurbish, adjust, and engineer my ham gear
so i use some measuring equipment like swr-meter, tuner, antenna analyzer, frequency counter, dummy load, filter, power-meter, oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, network analyzer, signal generator, sweeper, a.s.o. – it’s only possible to show a sample of the measuring equipment on this site đŸ™‚
i use also some approved vintage equipment – they have a few advantages: the price at that days was gigantic but nowadays you get them very cheap, they still working very fine, built like a tank, no problems to get the documentation for adjusting and repairing
but have also some newer stuff which is „lightweight“ than the above described vintage „boatanchor“ and – more or less – they can do the same job….
