| Reviews Summary for Array Solutions Powermaster |
|
Reviews: 168
|
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.

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...

What a great meter. I have had mine for 3 days and i am really impressed. I can now see what my voice peaks really are in SSB. Hooks up to protect my amp and I have been using the PRO software with the 45 day evaluation period. Great software that really takes the meter to a new level. I have run SWR plots on all my antennas in under 5 minutes. I wish I had purchased this product long ago. You can't go wrong with this meter. Oh by the way, I e-mailed Array Solutions today, Sunday with a question on hooking up the meter to my amp and 5 minutes later Jay e-mailed me back on a SUNDAY morning and answered my question. Enough said. Russ K8QF.

After reading the reviews for the PowerMaster I was convinced this was the watt meter for me. From the time I opened the box I was impressed with the appearance of the meter but also the multitude of functions. I have also been impressed with the service that Bob Naumann can provide and with such speed. The PowerMaster, in conjunction with my Alpha linear, are a great team. Thanks for the PowerMaster and your service!

Great Meter

Bought 44 of these meters to use in an industrial application, and they are rock solid so far.
The rest of the reviews speak for themselves.
