Frequently Asked Questions
The RigExpert Stick 230 is a compact, entry-level antenna and cable analyser designed for testing and tuning RF systems up to 230 MHz. It’s ideal for HF and VHF applications, helping users quickly check antenna performance, identify issues, and optimise system efficiency both in the workshop and out in the field.
The main difference is frequency coverage. The Stick 230 operates up to 230 MHz, making it well suited to HF and VHF work, while the Stick 500 extends to 500 MHz and includes additional UHF capability.
If your work is focused on HF and VHF bands, the Stick 230 provides excellent value without paying for extra frequency range you may not need. It’s also a practical tool for technicians involved in RF field services.
The Stick 230 can measure a range of key antenna and cable parameters, including SWR, return loss, impedance, and cable loss. These measurements help users evaluate antenna performance, diagnose faults, and make adjustments to achieve better signal quality and system reliability.
Yes. The Stick 230 is a popular choice for amateur radio operators because it covers all major HF bands as well as the 6-metre and 2-metre VHF bands. Its portability and ease of use make it particularly useful for hobbyists, clubs, and those undertaking RF training or learning antenna tuning techniques.
Yes. The Stick 230 supports connectivity options that allow users to work with companion software and mobile applications for viewing, recording, and analysing measurement data. If you’d like advice on compatible devices or setup requirements, please contact us and our team will be happy to help.
