as someone who is a noob at ham radio, I recomend to get a fucking NanoVNA.

It is a cheap Vector Network Analiser

>what is a Vector Network Analiser

It is a device that basically tells you how much of your signal you are losing in your coax cable. The one that connects your radio to your antenna

It also tells you if you antenna is properly emiting radio waves, or just reflecting them back to your radio device.

If all you are going to do is to use handheld radios, then ignore this post
