RigExpert Stick 230 Antenna and Cable Analyser – 0.1–230 MHz

RigExpert Stick 230 is a portable antenna and cable analyser covering 0.1–230 MHz, with SWR graphs, impedance measurements, a sunlight-readable E-Ink display and USB/Bluetooth connectivity.

RigExpert Stick 230 Antenna and Cable Analyser provides portable measurements for antenna adjustment, installation checks and RF troubleshooting across 0.1–230 MHz. It measures standing-wave ratio, return loss and impedance, helping users identify resonance and assess antenna-system matching. The compact instrument weighs 185 g with its battery installed, making it convenient to carry between the workbench and an outdoor measurement location.

Antenna and Impedance Measurements

RigExpert Stick 230 combines single-frequency readings with swept SWR graphs to show how a system behaves across a selected frequency range. Numerical measurements include resistance, reactance, impedance, capacitance, inductance, phase and magnitude. Frequency entry has 1 kHz resolution, while selectable reference impedances accommodate systems beyond the usual 50-ohm standard. Multé mode supports quick checks of multiband antennas, and HAM mode simplifies checks within amateur-radio bands.

Readable Display and Connectivity

The 200 × 200-pixel monochrome E-Ink display remains readable in sunlight, supporting use beside an antenna installation. Six control keys provide access to measurement modes, and built-in help is available at the push of a button. USB Type-C connects the analyser to a computer and charges its battery. Bluetooth 4.2 BLE provides a wireless interface for compatible software and mobile devices.

Rechargeable Field Operation

The included 18650 lithium-ion battery supports up to 16 hours of continuous measurements according to the factory datasheet. Charging takes approximately three hours through USB Type-C. A splash- and dust-resistant case supports portable use, while factory calibration and OSL calibration facilities provide a practical basis for repeatable measurements. Disconnect transmitting equipment before connecting the analyser and follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions.
