how to read Daiwa duel needle SWR meter?

[Survival Bill]

how do you read SWR meter do you use the right needle as the SWR reading or do you use were both needles cross together as the SWR reading?

the only ones I have used up till now only had one needle...

all crossneele meters you read were the 2 needles cross at for the swr reading.

With a cross needle meter one needle reads forward power and the other reads reflected power and where they intersect is where you read SWR.

oh man that really makes it tough to figure out then as thay cross so low on the meter it could span a hole range of numbers as thay all come together at the bottom shesh wish I would have found just a 1 needle swr meter now...

Bill have you tried to find a free download for the manual yet?(Google)
Most manufacturers have free downloads for their products.If not try to shoot them an email w/the model number and maybe they will email/snailmail it you.It's worth a shot anyway.
Good Luck Sir.

ok my readings are were thay cross are right on the bottom think im somewere around 1.7 for a match maybe?

but since both needles moved so little that reading is still up in the air as far as im concerned... Ill try and get a swr meter photo to show you guys in the next couple of days...

Survival Bill, I have a Dee 1000 swr/power meter in perfect working condition with 3 meters. How many watts is your Diawa meter rated at? If it is a 3000 watt meter, and you are interested I will make an even trade with you??
