Before I got an antenna analyzer I would tape the PTT button closed on my radio and lay the microphone next to the scanner and press the VOX switch. Then I would take the handheld out to the yard and program in some obscure frequency into it and the scanner. I could then place my SWR meter at the feedpoint and remotely trigger the TX from the yard using the HT. It was crude but it worked. Just make sure you don't have the coax disconnected when the phone rings.
