Paul,
Good reason, I haven't tried it.

Dave,
Thank you for your inputs.

I have a TinyVNA and I find the super small letters on the 2.8" screen are very difficult to read, when testing outside. Using it or the PC computer software inside works fine, but by itself outside, not so much. If they ever come out with a 4" version of the SA, maybe that would suffice. They certainly are in the right price range for HR and hobbyist use.

I don't have the 4" TinyVNA so I don't yet know if that is any better outside.
Someone on the list may have one and be able to comment on it.

The TinySA spectrum analyzer may meet your needs. Pocket portable, inexpensive, covers HF thru UHF and beyond. Can detect unmodulated signals. And the linearity may be good enough that you won't have to deal with calibrated attenuators, though of course you can. There is a group.io group at?/g/tinysa?that is owned by the developer. Check in there for the recommendations of where to buy it so you get an original and not a worthless clone.

Do you have any ideas for Standard antennas? I think that there might be enough info on the internet to build your own for some frequencies. Never quite got that far myself yet.
