Scalar or better vector network analyzer
Does not need to cost an arm and a leg
Depending on what frequency area you wanna measure you can have good setup
for a few hundred bucks
Top end
Kc901s (verctor analyzer up to 3 ghz)
Kc901h (scalar analyzer up to 3 ghz)
Nwt4000 (look in evilbay ... grin)
Rf explorer (handy spectrum analyzer up to 2.5 gig with a nice lcd display
and can be also connected to pc)
Rf explorer transmitter (test transmitter that can be used with the explorer
mentioned above, synced from pc)
Mini60/sark100 (rf shortwave antenna analyzer that is nice to have and costs
below 100 bucks, handheld or with pc connection)
Low end
Etc etc
Several different things possible but I just wanted to give you some ideas
(yes I own some of them ... grin)
Do you also own an antenna analyzer??
Do you wanna measure filters and diplexers for repeaters
We would need some further info what is your goal
My personal thoughts are that you do not need an analyzer for most things
... but it makes MANY setups a lot easier (do an swr sweep over a big area,
zoom in to different bands etc etc)
Some things can be done with other setups ... but I can do some tests in
seconds where you would need several minutes... maybe more ... grin
