Good addition to my Shack...
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months

Just bought it new recently. I like the small form factor and clean lines. Two power settings are a plus so it's more sensitive for checking a hand held unit.
I like the dual needle design and clear read out. I checked my SWR on both power settings and they are consistent being that the SWR reading is the same at both settings. Seems accurate but I was surprised that the VHF SWR was higher than I imagined. UHF SWR almost nill.
Now I have something to go by to tune my supposedly "no need to tune" antenna.
A very nice meter.

Great Dual Band Meter
|
Time owned: 6 to 12 months
|
A great all around meter for dual band use.
The correct rating for this meter is 30/300 Watts.Some early production models were labeled as 15/150. This has been corrected. Nice and easy to use and fairly accurate for the price, some shops sell this as low as $69 bucks.
