I'm a VERY happy owner of the 3E model VNWA. I've made measurements on my 160M antennas with no difficulty, but I'm out in the boonies, not close enough to strong BC signals to have seen any issues. As to precision of calibration loads -- after I got the VNWA, I did a search looking for calibration loads, and quickly learned that if you want better than 1% precision, it's easy to spend as much for the load as for the VNWA itself! 73, Jim K9YC _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
