This video has convinced me. I've watched all kinds of videos of many different analyzers and this one (though pricey) is the one I'm going to get. Thanks for a very informative video.

[@kierongreen9789]

Fabulous

[@Andy2e0ree]

I do like the look of the Comet CAA-500 I do like the colour screen

[@KO4AFL]

Great looking Comet CAA-500

[@dougputhoff3215]

Good review….I will be buying this unit

[@wild-radio7373]

My Favorite Analyzer 🥰👍

[@joecraft4409]

That is good analyzer. I like the cross needle meter. This would be a major step up from a Nano VNA. The “Sweep” feature is great to see. In also see the unit will overlay 3-4 sweeps to see any adjustments made during tune up.

[@violetnorton7165]

Nano VNA does all this and MUCH more, for a third of the price. Unless you just want analog meter movements.

@@violetnorton7165 While I agree with you, and my days of paying 400 bucks for an analyzer are over. I do think it is an elegant analyzer for what most hams want. I love the cross needles. I would really like to have one, but the NanoVNA and a really old MFJ259 do everything I need to get done. Nano, as you know is overkill for simply measuring SWR most of the time. Sometimes the Nano is a little small, but versions like the H4 have alleviated that issue somewhat. Also, going from PL or N to SMA is a clumsy proposition for 14 MHz. compared to the convenience of just screwing the antenna in.

[@joecraft4409]

The Nano VNA it too small to see. And as for the price, this one was free. I see your angle but the Nano is not for me.

[@roberttraylor1392]

[@TingILi]

Comet CAA-500

[@violetnorton7165]

What kind of HF antenna was that? Didn't look resonant anywhere.

[@channelview8854]

A dummy load
