That's true for simple series resonant antennas, Keith. But as I found
out when writing the sign detection algorithm for the LP-100, it's not
always the case. Your point is well taken, though. Small, simple, accurate.

Sign of the phase angle can be determined by varying freq. and watching
the magnitude to up or down. I can live without the sign.
Something smaller that gives the same SWR / Impedance answers would be a
big improvement!
You go Larry!

... maybe there's a niche for a simple device, along the lines of the
MFJ, but smaller and with better product build (ie, user built kit ;-)
and battery life. Maybe also with the ability to determine sign of phase
angle.
