Buy this meter Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
Love the way this thing operates. Have compared mine to a friend’s Bird, and it is real close. It seems the best when reading PEP because of the sensitive circuitry inside. The weight of the unit is good for holding it where you put it instead of seeing it “travel” because of the weight of the coax cable. I am a complainer, so I have just two minor beefs… I’m gettin’ old and sure would like a larger face on the meter, and kind of wish there were some kind of damper or hold on the thing to slow down the drop-off time.

I know, I’m asking for the features of a $1,000 meter for the great price of this one for $130. It was money well spent, I am really very satisfied.

Great meter Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Great meter and looks good too. Seems to be right on the money as far as wattage goes. You can't go wrong with this meter.

Could be better! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I was looking for wattmeter for YAESU FT-100D with ATAS-100 antenna. Since antenna has automatic tuning, it will not work with all wattmeters. Well, I thought that YAESU works better with YAESU. I was wrong, YS-60 has zero resistance between the center pin and the ground. So, it completely disable automatic tuning. It has no other disadvantages though.

True peak reading wattmeter 160M-6M from Yaesu Time Owned: unknown months.
Couldn't be happier with the YS-60. Speak normally into the mic and see the true PEP on the meter face. Also has SWR and a special low-power SWR scale for QRP. Unit requires 13.8 v. Has 2 IC's and 6 transistors. Dual lamp illuminated meter is super-easy to read day or night. Power scales are 20W-200W-2000W. Also has a selection for reading average power. Much easier to read then flashing LED digits. Affordable at $129 from AES. Works on 160M thru 6M. Great addition to any shack.
