> 3 dayI gave it 4 stars only because there is one flaw that i.m.o. doesnt warrant 5 stars. There is no power switch for the LED light. I had to drill a hole and mount a switch above the power plug in order to be able to switch the blinding blue LED light off. That light is annoying sitting in the shack in the evening.

> 3 dayThis is my 1st personal swr/pwr meter having to borrow one a few times. This meter is very easy to read and appears to work very well. A word to the wise is to keep the watts setting at 200 watts until you VERIFY the output of your radio is under 20 watts. Then you can shift down to the 20w setting. Failure to do so may render your meter unworkable as my friend found out. Otherwise I am very satisfied with this product and would recommend it.

> 3 dayReadings were all over the place. VHF vs. UHF. Low range vs. High range. Readings were off by 20-50%. Totally unacceptable.

Greater than one weekVery responsive indication needles. And the two power settings with an off setting is convenient.

Greater than one weekMine is way off.. showing about half of the power compared to other meters. Also the SWR going into dummy loads shows high on UHF band. Multiple dummy loads that are rated 1.1:1 up to 1ghz are showing a swr reading of 3:1 while on VHF it shows 1.8:1. Took it to a friends house and mix/matched jumper cables, dummy loads, and radios.. just to rule out my equipment as the cause and confirmed it is in fact a bad meter. Maybe I just got a bad one but I wont buy this brand ever again.

13-06-2025Accuracy in lower scale seems accurate with forward and reflected. However on high scale forward and reflected power highly inaccurate. On 20W scale with 15W in forward power was 15W out , while on 200W scale forward power only 10W. I do like the appearance and the OFF switch. The only problem was accuracy.
