I have used my Dishtronix Analog SWR/Watt Meter for about two months now. It performs very well with a pleasing appearance. I feel it is good value for the money if you are looking for a SWR/Watt Meter.

The Dishtronix meter arrived today from Array Solutions and works great. It is accurate out of the box and it really doesn't pay to adjust the meter, as it is very much on the mark. It is a solid value.

After using my trusty Bird 43 for many, many years, it finally gave up one day in the middle of some testing I was doing on a new antenna design. I had no time to repair it before a deadline, so I called Jay at Array Solutions. He suggested I purchase one of their Dishtronix meters. Now the Bird 43 is a very accurate, tried and true design that has been around forever. I would say that most professional shops in the U.S. use these more than any meter around for most day to day testing. To say the least, I was more than a bit septical that this low priced meter would even come close, but I needed a meter and fast, so I gave Jay my order and received it within a few days. Within a couple of hours of receiving the meter and using the included manual, I had it calibrated and in use. Man, what a meter! This thing is great! It's lighted, within 10% or better, right out of the box and within 5% if you take the time to follow exellent Dishtronix instructions for calibration. It's easy to use, looks great and is built very well! I now have my Bird repaired and side by side, it is hard to tell the difference. The Dishronix is not a lab-grade instrument but for everyday, amateur and most professional use, the Dishtronix unit is fantastic. If you must have lab-grade, I still feel the bird is the standard by which most others are judged. Array Solution's builds and sells their PowerMaster meter and this is a lab-grade instrument and will no doubt be one of my next purchases. I highly recommend the Dishtronix however, to anyone needing an accurate, easy to use meter for HF work to the legal limit. I still use the Bird on the work bench but the Dishtronix unit is now on the station desk and doing a great job! For the money, I know of no other meter that even comes close!
