MFJ-223 Vector Impedance Antenna Analyzer
MFJ Enterprises, Inc
13 Version 1
5.3 Interference Detector:
The cell-phone style signal bars
appearing in the lower right-hand corner of the screen warn of
potential RF interference. Like the S-Antenna bar, they show
deflection during scan runs, but the primary function is to warn
of high interference levels with the DDS scanner is turned off.
The scale is logarithmic with a range of -30 to +20-dBm (each
bar indicates a 10-dB increment). When more than one bar is
illuminated, interfering signals may be present. When three or
more bars are illuminated, disconnect the antenna line
immediately to protect the analyzer's coupler.
Signal Overload Warning: Before initiating scans, always
check the interference meter for powerful external signals.
