Simple and easy to use. Quite accurate when compared to a calibrated reference. For the price, you can't go wrong. I love the illuminated meters too!

Great Meter

This little meter is fun to use. I don't like cross needle meters so this is ideal for me. Very easy to see and works very well.

WM1 AWESOME
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months

Over and over my fellow Hams told me about how pleased they were with their Autek WM1 Meters, but after purchasing one, I just have to say they are RIGHT, I've never been more pleased with a product that I can remember - Smooth accurate operation and The Lighting and peak Functions, are just AWESOME! Remote cable Head connection and Safety Features that make it so well designed and WORTH the purchase. They even allowed me to pay and have it for EXPRESS DELIVERY. In short...You cant go wrong I am happy with it in every way God Bless...DE N5JFJ

No nonsense, accurate

The largest, easy to read meters I've ever had...one for power (20, 200, 2000 watt ranges), and one for SWR, simultaneous readings (no switching back and forth). Can't get any easier than that. Accurate right from the factory, and the peak readings for SSB works great..just the right hold and decay. Well built, and the remote sensor is a very convenient feature. Nit-pick...the power connection from the wall-wart could be a little more solid..a little shaky on my unit. More reviews on e-ham than any other...been around a long time. Good value and performance for the money. 73, Bob,K7JQ

Find the earlier model.

I bought my WM 1 about 12 years ago when Autek seem to have been more concerned with quality control than they are today. It has only a single tiny OFF/ON LED and isn't backlit, but the large dual meters are easy to read even in dim lighting, and compared to the cheap and nasty lightweight plastic enclosures that have become so common today, its heavy duty metal enclosure that stays put is a real delight. I haven't tested it for accuracy, but its readings have usually lined up with those of the built-in (and much less easy to read) meters in both of the big Yaesu rigs I've used it with. The remote head can be a hassle when it gets tangled with the nest of cables at the rear of the station, and the huge opening in the back (for adjustments) is truly weird (I've covered mine), but for solidity, legibilty, and rapid response the WM 1 would be hard to beat, although given the complaints of the poor quality of the updated model, I think if I were looking for a WM 1 today I'd try to find the earlier model. Another advantage to the earlier model is of course that it has negative ground.

Works As Advertised
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months

After reading the reviews here, I must admit that I had reservations about buying one of these. Bought mine thru the QTH.com classifieds. It is the "later version" with lighted meters. It looks sharp and is well-constructed. It's accuracy rivals my Bird 43. The Bird was moved to the workbench were it belongs. The Autek now sits in a prominent place with the equipment.
One more thing: The meter action on peak reading is superb....if not downright perfect. Seems well-engineered.
Very happy with the meter.

I have a WM-1 That I bought off ebay over 1 year ago and it works great. It is one of the older ones without the lighted meters. Anyone know when they started the lighted meters?

Solid meter, seems accurate

I picked one of these up cheap that wasn't working and was able to repair it - it seems very accurate and built solid. Backlit meters are easy to read. Works great for QRP on the 20 watt scale. I like it!
