•

Use the ECS RF Troubleshooter kit to quickly evaluate the health of your antenna 
system.

•

Take Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) readings from the rack to the antenna.

•

Take SWR readings of a directional antenna, while the antenna is installed. 

•

Take SWR readings of single and combination cable runs.

•

Distant to fault (DTF) measurements.

•

Define the typical SWR value for a given interface (i.e., BNC, TNC, "N") over the 
test frequency band.
