Works Exactly as Described

Couldn't be easier to operate. Tested low/high power and SWR functions with my log periodic and the meter was spot on.

Not quite up to snuff

Time owned: 0 to 3 months

Well, read the good reviews and thought I'd give it a shot.... first one from Ham City was defective. THe replacement works but is off by 50% low on 70cm. On 2 meters reads about 20% low. Will contact Diamond for an RMA so they can get this one fixed. Verified power output on IC7000 with a lab grade meter, good news is the 7000 is working slightly better than spec, bad news is the SX40C indicates that the radio is putting out half power! Rather it be ther meter than the radio anyday!!

Good Product

Nice size and good movemnet of the needles. Do not have a calibrated source for comparison but it is in line with my trusty Daiwa CN410. The only recomindation I can make to the manufactor is to have an option for N connectors.

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.
