Hi Jim,
I agree, the VWNA is at this time best VNA option up to 1 Ghz for bench use
(with computer).
The reason I don´t have a VWNA is because I need a VNA to use it in the field
as well, with no computer.
I like to sit on the soil, or on the roof, and test the antenna. In that
situations a self-capable VNA is needed and Anritsu is very reliable (high
dynamic range and robust to in the band interference).
the Keysight/Agilent FieldFox is also a wonderful piece of gear,
comparable to the Anritsu. I've used both, and it's nice to be standing
on a roof (either in blazing sun, or pouring rain) with a self contained
instrument that has a fair amount of capability.
I've not hung one off a tower, but I know someone that has dropped a
Fieldfox from some height, and it survived ok. I think the Anritsu would
be the same.
