RigExpert Stick XPro Antenna and Cable Analyser – 0.1–1000 MHz

RigExpert Stick XPro Antenna and Cable Analyser provides portable vector measurements from 0.1–1000 MHz for antenna adjustment, installation checks and RF troubleshooting. It combines standing-wave ratio, return loss and complex impedance measurements with cable tools and time-domain reflectometry. The compact instrument weighs 185 g with its battery installed, making it practical for workbench testing and visits to antenna installations across HF, VHF and UHF frequencies.

Antenna and Impedance Measurements

RigExpert Stick XPro offers numerical readings and swept SWR, return-loss and resistance/reactance charts. Single-frequency measurements include impedance magnitude, resistance, reactance, capacitance, inductance, return loss and phase. Frequency entry has 1 kHz resolution, while selectable reference impedances support different system types. Multé mode provides quick checks of multiband antennas, and HAM mode simplifies assessment of a selected amateur-radio band.

Cable Testing and Fault Location

Time-domain reflectometry helps identify the distance to an impedance discontinuity along a cable. Dedicated tools measure cable length, impedance and loss, while StubTuner assists with matching-section work. Factory calibration enables operation out of the box, and OSL calibration supports measurements through an additional fixture. Together, these functions help distinguish antenna-matching problems from feeder faults rather than relying on an SWR reading alone.

Portable Control and Connectivity

A 220 × 220-pixel colour TFT display presents results locally, with six keys providing access to measurement modes. USB Type-C supports computer connection, charging and external power; Bluetooth 4.2 BLE enables communication with compatible software. The rechargeable battery supports up to 16 hours of operation, with charging taking approximately three hours. Disconnect transmitting equipment before connecting the analyser and follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions.
