OK, but definitely not great

I have to totally disagree with the "accurate" praises given to this meter.....it's marginal at best. It does look good in a shack, and does an adequate job, assuming that's all you're interested in.
If you want true accuracy though, avoid this meter.....it just isn't a high quality item. You're much better off with a Bird 43, which can be purchased used in NOS condition from auction sites.

Very accurate and well built. Great looking, well lit with very large and easy to read scale. I have owned several Daiwa meters for 2m/440 and this is the best ever by them in my opinion.

I must admit I have not calibrated this so I don't know how accurate it is but it's very nicely made and evenly back-lit and does what i bought it for. It's a very nice addition to my shack and I moved a radio off of a J Pole antenna as a result of the SWR and reflected power I was getting from it so I'll consider it as having payed for itself as I would have for surely burned out the finals in the aforementioned rig.

Just arrived yesterday and couldn't be more pleased. Classy look, SWR and power measurement seems to be right on. The size of the meter is impressive, you'll have no difficulty reading the meter. The switched LED lighting is great and very bright. I actually liked the arrangement of the input/output connections unlike the previous review....antenna at the bottom and input at the top because my Aircom coax comes up through the floor and my 1' jumper from the meter to my FT-7900 falls directly in line with the output connector on the rig. The weight of the semi-rigid coax doesn't budge the meter and I can only attribute this to the anti-slip rubber side guards. So this was a positive attribute for me. I highly recommend.

Nice Power/SWR meter

This is a huge and accurate Power/SWR meter for the VHF and UHF bands.
Its crossed needles provides convenient readings of your TX situation.
It's lighted by two white LEDs, so no fear to burn the bulbs.
It looks wery well assembled and comes with two rubber vertical "gaskets" that adds protection and avoid slippering of the instrument.
I give no 5 because the two "N" connector are placed in vertical, so in certain conditions you can experiment the lifting of the meter by the weight of the two coax cables.
