Thats a good idea, I did that one time for $100 I tried to buy a radio a couple years ago. it's sad people try to scam you. Using a money order is taking a chance. Maybe if you use delivery confirmation or something else like insurance.

Very interesting post. With my gear I can use my SWR meter that is specked for 160-10 meters on 6 meters and it reads accurate to my MFJ 906. As the previous post states if the match is close or 1-1 there is no reflected power to move the meter and you will show a very low SWR. For a Dipole I cut mine to 52 inches per side, it is 1-1 swr on 50 and 51MHZ I havent checked it on 52 and 53 since I dont do much FM work.
