| Reviews Summary for Array Solutions Powermaster |

Reviews: 161

Average rating: 5.0/5

MSRP: $400.00

Description: 5% accuracy, temperature and frequency compensated, 1.8-54 MHz, peak-hold modes, bargraph display of power and SWR for easy antenna system matching, PC programmable via RS232, more.
I use two of these meters in my own station, no suprises there for sure, they are great! But we're adding features you may want to know about. The accuracy is NOW 3% with our HP equipment technique which calibrates out more uncertainty. The coupler heads are interchangeable from HF to uWaves with the new LITE 3.0, and all instruments in the field will be upgradable to a new feature, the COUPLER SCANNER. It will automatically scan multiple couplers for you. Pretty cool stuff. AND more features to come.

Outstanding !

Time owned: 0 to 3 months

My station consist of 4 HF radios and a small amp. I monitor all of this equipment with my new Power Master. I have found the vintage gear is in better condition than I thought and one of my modern rigs has a small problem. I never would have know this without the accuracy of my Power Master. This is money well spent for a piece of gear made in the USA.
Array Solutions customer service is second to none.

Awesome Product

Time owned: 3 to 6 months

I purchased a used Powermaster. Its one of the first ones produced. I asked them if I could send it in to check the calibration and correct a very minor issue. Even though it was out of warranty, they took care of it at no charge. I've Ben using ham gear for over 50 yrs and I have to say its the best piece of gear I've ever had in the ham shack. Its saved my bacon many times when it goes into alarm condition if there is a problem with the coax, antenna, or you accidentally select the wrong ant. The fact that it provides an instant power and SWR reading with only a tiny burst of RF energy is just amazing. I'll be purchasing a new Powermaster soon -- for a second operating position. Its just a super product.

Best Meter Ever!

This is by far the best designed meter for amateur use. Easy to read and use. It even has a desktop display. Again, another outstanding product from Array Solutions.

If you have an amplifier you owe it to yourself to get the best ham accessory (or should I say necessity) for your shack; that being the Power Master from Jay & Bob at Array Solutions. I have had mine for almost 6 month now and it’s beyond cool! Absolutely top shelve construction and as accurate as it is great looking. Everything the previous reviewers have said is true. This product is well worth it. No buyer’s remorse with this gem. Good work guys on the Power Master and congratulations on landing the Tokyo Hy-Power distributorship!

A lot of features
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months

Well let me start by saying that a lot of good things have been written about this watt meter, and they are all true. If it is not the best, it is among the best watt meters out there. If has all the mayor features of a conventional watt meter and it offers a lot more.
I don`t think it is completely fair to compare this watt meter to a regular one that can only offer the FWD power, Peak power and SWR, because this one does a lot of more things that a normal meter could never do.
A nice one for example is to calculate the real power you are giving out that means it subtracts the reflected power from the FWD power.
But this is just one of the many features it has. You can program it to bypass the amplifier relay if the SWR is high, or if the input power is too low... Too many things to mention them all.
I highly recommend this watt meter to anyone that is looking of a good instrument, I can`t say it is THE BEST, but I can assure you it is very good.

This is the best Watt/Swr/Meter I have had the pleasure to own,I use it on my 144mhz eme system,
And it blows my bird meter out of the water for accuracy on POWER and SWR,And it looks good, nice big green display,Money well spent,Also good support from the lads at array solutions.
so if your on the lookout for new watt/swr meter try the powermaster.

I picked mine up 2nd hand and works EXCELENT. I just wish I had got one years ago and saved me playing with many "toy" meters.
Looks great in the shack too...
