Thanks for the thorough explanation and tutorial, Josh. I just ordered the Stick 500. That is a good point about the yellow color; it will suit my needs. Keep up the great work. You're very much appreciated by all hams at all levels. 73 de AK3B.

@stephens8175 Год назад

Excellent video. I learned a lot about the 230 that I did not know. Thank you! 73

@Ammed_KN6STX Год назад

Great video Josh!!! Thank you for explaining using the analyzers!

@Frank_K4FMH Год назад

I have the Stick Pro … great analyzer. Somewhat disappointed that it doesn’t get to 1.2 ghz. Correct me if that’s not correct. But my Mini 1300 does so that’s still in my bag. The BT feature of the Stick line allows feedpoint impedance sweeps at the antenna while it’s in the air at the intended height and without the coax in the middle. Great products!

@southernexposure123 Год назад

Thanks for the video. Volume is much better here than on a few others. Although there was still some whisper when telling about the RX feature. I sure would have enjoyed hearing that. I'll be hunting more of your videos. Thanks again.

@HamRadioCrashCourse Год назад

I use an audio compressor and master to -5db. Which is supposed to be an industry standard. Not sure why the ads come in so hot. I don’t control those.

@southernexposure123 Год назад

@@HamRadioCrashCourse Thanks for the information about the compressor. I usually talk real loud if I get farther from my consumer grade camcorder. I've heard some videos that were recorded so loud they sound too loud even if I decrease my computer volume almost off. I think they were turned so high they got distorted. I'm on the verge of ordering either the Stick (a step down from the 1000) or the MFJ 259D. I'm leaning more toward the Stick. Several years ago I used an MFJ for installing mostly mobile antennas in PU trucks and 18 wheelers. I broke it. lol I bought second one and hid it from myself while distracted by a career in construction. It would take days to find it suspect. 73

@HamRadioDX Год назад

I got the Stick 500… a stick that goes to 1GHz isn’t that needed for me as there aren’t any amateur bands between 500MHz and 1GHz in VK. Love the type N though. A Stick to 1300 MHz would be fantastic. Great video Josh

@HamRadioCrashCourse Год назад

Thanks Hayden!

@W4TRI Год назад

I stopped the video at price. I cannot justify spending more on one of these than I have in most of my radios.

@joel6221 Год назад

RU-vidrs get stuff for free so they can convince us plebs to buy it.

@3dPrint_and_chill Год назад

Oof, I see what you mean. I'll stick with my VNA.

@HR4NT Год назад

I really like the advanced features this one has as opposed to the other ones on the market. Pretty slick. Thanks for the great video. 73!

@GH0ST369 Год назад

I got a VNA that goes up to 1500 MHz and costs $55 CAD has a bigger screen and coloured off Amazon sorry Josh not to hit your endorsements but damn that is like close to $1k😂

@32_bits Год назад

How do these broadly compare to a Nano VNA and why would you want both?

@n7jrr Год назад

Great to see RigExpert producing another great product from Ukraine.

@W5NWA Год назад

I have the Stick XPro, great video thx!

@dmparkerjr 8 месяцев назад

Have you had any issues with battery life?

@glendonblount6556 Год назад

Josh, did you have to calibrate either the PRO, or X PRO? Also would it be possible to create a video on how to do that? I have the PRO, it is my go to tuner, but I wonder sometimes if it is giving me accurate data. Thanks for all you do, and hope your day goes well.

@Dreamlgider Год назад

1000mhz not very usable, since you go past 70cm at least include 23cm/1.2GHz ! I have the old AA-600, very nice up to 70cm, but 600mhz is rather useless for hamming.

@davidmayes1912 Год назад

I'm confused about this as well. There are some radios out there with 23cm/1.2GHz, but seemingly very few with 33cm/900MHz. Seems like consumers would mostly opt for the standard Stick Pro covering 70cm, or wait for the "Stick Pro X 1200" to come out some day. I love my RigExpert Stick, but not sure why this model was spec'd out such as it was. Great walkthrough video though - thumbs up!

@lmaoroflcopter Год назад

I run the pro, prefect accompanying tool for something like a buddypole in the field especially if you're trying some weird configurations.

@donalderickson-si8ww Год назад

thank you for all your grate clips I am ostic so studing is hard and not driving anymore makes it in posable to get to the test sight so my yaesu ft 60 go's on the shelf I will be persuing gmrs no test have all the gear thanks again.

@MikeG-js1jt Год назад

Why would someone want this instead of a $60 nano Vna ? that goes from 10khz to 1.5Ghz ?

@HamRadioCrashCourse Год назад

Easier to use and read in the field. Can tether to phone. Don’t get me wrong. I completely support people owning a NanoVNA too. It’s also an acceptable alternative to a Stick.

@kleinbiker1 Год назад

Cool devices! Why are you blurring out part of the band plan in the video?

@HamRadioCrashCourse Год назад

Because I don’t want you see something.

@mrradio2187 Год назад

I ordered one of each! Viva Ukraine!

@Kinetic79 Год назад

Thanks for pointing out how to find your resonance point, which may be part of the equation for the efficiency. But I don’t really know with any confidence how to determine how much radiation resistance and ground losses I’m seeing on an antenna, to get a sense for how much power is actually getting out into the ether (as opposed to getting lost as heat in the air or the ground). Any tips there?

@HamRadioCrashCourse Год назад

Some of that is going to be line loss via the coax. It’s part of the system. Remember at the end of the day, resistance should be at or close to 50 ohms. All the other stuff is going to be efficiency and effectiveness in position or build.

@slappomatthew 8 месяцев назад

So these are polished nanovna’s with a tiny screen for many times the price?

@TingILi Год назад

How accurate is the SWR number compared with the Bird meter or some other big brand's Network analyzer instrument?

@HamRadioCrashCourse Год назад

I don't specifically know, but they can be calibrated.

@jeremygilchrist1956 7 месяцев назад

Where can that desk mat(?) be found?? I could not find it in your store.

@jeremygilchrist1956 7 месяцев назад

I think I found it on etsy, if anyone else is wondering.

@mattk7yeg682 Год назад

I can’t get my Stick 230 to connect to my Iphone, Ipad or my older android phone anymore.

@iblackfeathers Год назад

i think i’ll wait for the stick y pro max. 😅

@drastikmeazures1 Год назад

I just got a stick 230 a couple weeks ago and I've been agonizing about whether to update the firmware. I noticed Josh's stick 500 is on v1 still. Anybody done a firmware update on one of these? Did it add any improvements? Any reason not to? Thanks

@mattk7yeg682 Год назад

I have done firmware updates on my 230 after bluetooth stopped working. I have had no problems with the unit otherwise either before or after the update.

@SaruEMSEducation Год назад

Will this work for scanner antennas ? Is there a way to 'test' RX only antennas?

@lmaoroflcopter Год назад

Resonance is resonance. It's an expensive tool for a scanner enthusiast as it is not necessary at all, but it'll tell you if your antenna is resonant for a particular frequency.

@VE9ASN Год назад

Fun fact, they released this .000001 seconds after I bought the stick pro.

@HamRadioCrashCourse Год назад

Sounds about right. 😬

@joel6221 Год назад

$700?????

@Factory400 Год назад

If you play in the 1Ghz world, this is cheap. It's hardware architecture appears to be far better than something like nanoVNA, dedicated software for antenna/radio work, an app, etc. The target user is definitely on the higher end of the hobby. For people that hang out in the HF bands....this would be wasted. Get into the high side of UHF.....this is perfect.

@KellyeEversole Год назад

Thanks. This was extremely useful. I do have the new Stick X Pro. I wish they had a cap that covers the adaptor. Any thoughts about the new high end 3000? de K1SOE
