An example of poor engineering is here

An example of poor engineering is here. The rotary selector doesn't have an effective debounce circuit, so scrolling through the menus is really annoying. I've seen this complaint from others and I've seen it on more than one device. I even replaced the rotary encoder with a higher quality device and it didn't matter. This is a code issue. The user interface is not great. Simple changes like frequency range or center frequency are unintuitive and the awful instructions are almost unreadable. However, it gets the job done and I've used it to tune the antennas. In addition, it is compact and cheap, so the price-performance ratio is enough for the purchase.

Pros
  • Built-in lithium-ion battery
Cons
  • Some minor issues
