You may use this feature to tune multi-band antennas. Use up and down cursor keys to 
select a frequency to be set or changed. Press the 

 0  

key to switch between SWR bars 

and numerical representation of these parameters. 
 
 

4.2.4. “Show all” mode

 

 

The 

Show all

 mode (the 

 8  

key) will show various parameters of a load at the single 

screen. Particularly, SWR, |Z| (magnitude of impedance) as well as its active (R) and 
reactive (X) components are shown. Additionally, corresponding values of inductance 
(L) or capacitance (C) are displayed: 

 

 

 

[Please notice that RigExpert AA-500 displays absolute value of the reactance, |X|.] 

 
For this this mode, you may choose either 

series

 or 

parallel

 model of impedance of a 

load through the 

Settings

 menu: 

 

 

In the series model, impedance is expressed as resistance and reactance 
connected in series:  

 

 

 

In the parallel model, impedance is expressed as resistance and reactance 
connected in parallel:
