    SWR Meter Lifespan

    Hi, Thanks! I payed $90 shipped, which was more than I wanted to put in an SWR Meter! But, it is power and SWR and the "cheap" meters are $30-40!!! Sometimes better to bite the bullet and just cry ONCE!

    Hi, Thanks! I was thinking just use the radio with a dummy load, but.... I guess if you do it with the amp and actual antenna it might be more accurate? What about modulation?
