      Ditto, Mike N7ASZ, regarding the VNA.  Amazing device for very little
money.

As an aside, one of the best tools I’ve purchased in the last couple of
years is a Nano VNA (Vector Network Analyzer).  They are $50 or so & tell
you about anything you would want know about your antennas & coax up to 2
Ghz. Amazing little devices. Lots of YouTube videos on them if interested.

One thing to keep in mind is that you can adjust the matching section (for
both bands) on an Arrow.  So if it's not where it should be, and you have
access to a good analyzer and set the antenna up away from interfering
objects, you can retune it to an acceptable SWR.

Folks using a handheld and an Arrow antenna to work the FM satellites:
What SWR do you have with that combination? I'm checking to see if
everything is working right on my set-up. You may reply off-list if you
like.
Thanks!
