You all might want to take a look at the Autek Research
(www.autekresearch.com) antenna analyzers. The basic model is only
$140, while the more full-featured model that can do things like
inductance, capacitance, and phase angle measurements is still only
$200. Neither has an analog meter, but that hasn't been a big
drawback, and the flip side of that is that it's small. It easily
fits in the palm of your hand.
