Re: AA-230 Zoom

 

Yes, I have the Rigexpert AA35 Zoom, but I can't read it in the sunlight, I like the MFJ 259D outdoors, I live in Florida, strong sun.?
No problem reading that,also try a Tiny VNA, inexpensive and very good.

Yes, tried the contrast mode and same bad readability in direct sunlight even with shielding from the direct sunlight it is just hard to read for me.?

Normally I use rechargeable Panasonic? Eneloop 1.2 v 750ma Ni-Mh batteries and have for the past 5 years or more in the 230.? So I thought I would try a new set of Alkaline batteries to see if there would be any difference.? No difference at all but what I did notice was that after using the 230 for a couple readings a short time (~25 seconds) and taking the Alkaline batteries out? I noticed they were hot.? So hot I couldn't hold them in my hands. Ambient temp is 85 deg F.? Might this be normal? ?

I really hate not being able to use the instrument in the sun as it is a super single port VNA.

tnx,
