Does the new hardware have, or can be made to have, the ability to send a pulse down any of the antenna connectors and:
a) Monitor the reflections and display the results as a time-domain reflectometer at a base frequency of choice (any frequency on which the 6000 may transmit) . Providing the power is low enough the receiver can stay on to "see" the sent pulse and reflected signals; then graph the reflections on a time or distance basis. This will permit exact real-time measurement of off-centre fed antennae as well as feed line analysis and balun impedance matching. Velocity factor if a bare wire is paralleled with a test cable and the difference in reflected time represents the velocity factor. b) Perform the function of a graphic antenna analyzer by sending a series of very short bursts (several cycles on each frequency) and graph the results with SWR and impedance. The user selects scan centre frequency and scan width.
