STALLAR support from Alan at WaveNode Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
Alan Burroughs at wavenod gives a STELLAR support, quick to answer questions, got my wavenod fixed and recertified with missing parts (I was missing the original power supply and CD) for free even though I clearly mentionned I purchased the unit on used market.

This in my opinion how to trust a reliable and precision equipement, Alan explained that he rather do these quick fixes and have thousands of reliable devices in service and in good working order all around the world than deceived customers with defective units.

I am really impressed by the support I got, I wish many other company would take so much care about their customers and specially their products.

Really enjoy having this piece of equipement in the shack, works well and I am confident now with the recertification of my unit. Awesome tool to have.

Thanks Alan for the excellent support and nice product.

Greater meter and outstanding customer service Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This is my second WaveNode. My first was the WaveNode WN-2d. Finding I wanted more than 4 sensors, I purchased a WaveNode WN-2. I really like the both but prefer the WN-2, since I use the computer program to ream my meters. The WN-2 is smaller.

Both tThe WN-2 and WN-2d iare very accurate and helpful SWR/Wattmeter. It also has an excellent computer visual interface that can be customized to fit your preferences. I use the meters with six sensors. You can use up to four sensors at once with each meter.

Alan at WaveNode gives incredible customer service. I had a problem (caused by me) and Alan helped me work through it. Their customer support is tremendous.

I would highly recommend the WaveNode WN-2 and WN2d to anyone wanting a quality and accurate SWR/Wattmeter, especially if you have multiple antennas.

Great product, superb service Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I bought this WN2 2nd hand at a reasonable price and use two sensors on my VHF station. It is now good to know what is going on at legal limit for the first time. For weak signal VHF working use a good quality shielded USB line between the WN-2 and the PC and quality multi turn torroids at both ends to stop any weak sproggies appearing on the waterfall when running digital QRO. Incredible service from Alan in sending free parts to upgrade the unit to latest spec. Don't bother with inaccurate moving coil SWR/Power meters, the WN2 supplies a raft of information not seen on other products. It goes without saying that I recommend this quality product and the company too. You will not be disappointed.

nice work's great for me Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I just picked up the wavenode wn-2 and I like it so much I'm buying the new wn-2d, It has everything you want and need in a watt meter. It really is amazing and you can't beat it for the money.. Oh one last thing THE SERVICE IS NUMBER ONE ! When the owner of a company gives you his phone number to contact him to help walk you thru setting up the meter that I purchased used (which I told him upfront ) FANTASTIC ! Alan your service made me purchase the wn-2d the next day .So lets sum up this review 1/ the meter is great.2/ the service is even better. 3/ Alan is unbelievable !

Works great and good customer support Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Bought this number of years ago after reviewing several other good choices. I am using it with 4 sensors, one after the rig another after the amp and one on VHF weak signal and another HF
really happy with it, used it with Windows XP on a computer that I built and worked great, now on a Windows 7 software, use it on the same computer that I use for my Flex radio using 2 displays. I also use the Mobile watt meter in the mobile and I love it, works great for tuning my screwdriver and use it on VHF as well. Real pleased with it.

I have used the WN-2 for over 2 years, I have the software loaded on my XP-3 computer, this is a dedicated computer used to run a Flex 3000 and a Flex 1500 and it works great, I have 2 HF sensors and 2 VHF sensors for weak signal rig and it really works nice. I also have used it on a OS7 computer and no issues. The company has been very helpful with any questions I may have. Just ordered a WN-2M for the mobile, looking forward to getting it.

Tremendous product & service Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have used Wavenode products since the WN-1 and have not only been very pleased with its performance (and price) but have recommended it to many others (no unhappy references). I have been using the WN-2 since its intro and again have been blown away. I had my unit damaged by lightning and they went way beyond my expectations in repairing and returning it. BUY THIS WATTMETER!

I was a very satisfied user of the WN1 system and upgraded to the WN2 system. The new controller offers better connectivity options (really appreciate that no longer uses a LPT port) and having a software-implemented band scope to see your signal real-time (without an o'scope) is really amazing.

The picture of the controller does it do justice, is a really nice looking and inobtrusive box. It also offers enhanced digital control functions over the WN1, which comes in handy as I continually move to computer autommation of the shack.

The price is very reasonable annd the quality is evident. Also, Alan and crew are great to do business with.

I highly recommmend this system!

Fantastic Product & Service Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have 3 separate stations in my Ham shack all running Flex 5000's. I have a Wavenode WN-2 with two sensors on each station to monitor transceiver power output, amplifier power output, power supply voltage and current, etc. all on the 40 inch monitor screens connected to each station. These are superb devices, and they function flawlessly. An you will not find anyone better to deal with for customer support than Alan.

Great Support Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Greetings,

I purchased this unit last week. It arrived today and I followed the instructions to install the USB drivers. Everything went well until I attempted to load the software. I gave Alan a call at 8 PM EDT. He helped me load a remote access program on my computer and he went on my PC and clicked on the necessary arrows to load the software. I'm a blind ham and have to depend on screen reading software and some things just don't speak at all.

Bottom line, the unit works as advertised. I now have an accurate SWR and watt meter that I can read myself. Just outstanding service from Alan and WaveNode to assist me to install the software and get the unit working FB. 73, Bob K3UL

QRO necessity! Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I run an Alpha 86 at 1KW and it is very reassuring during a contest to see the SWR right next to N1MM. The only issue I have had is that the unit has a preference for the USB port. Once installed on its favorite port, it works perfectly!
