Looking at New meters SWR-Watts

[Grogan]

I was looking at new SWR meters I have a dosy meter Tc4001 and It's not working like it should. Should I buy a Bird 43P big dollar$ would like peak reading and be able to check 4 watts to 500 watts. I also see the Dosy TC3001P three meters nice but modulation on a meter ?? or a nice ham radio meter like the DAIWA CN-801HP HF/VHF Bench Meter. this is my choice and looks the best as far as price and reliable ...

I almost drove past Ham Radio Outlet. I Bought the Daiwa CN-801 HP meter, Very nice, 20,200 and 2KW watts also peak reading and peak hold function.Very Bright and clear vith a nice size and weight to stay put on the bench. Light can also be turned on and off and the neddles are cross reading for SWR' foward and reflected power 1.8 to 200 MHZ at this Time I have had enough guessing with my old Dosy meter and the 149.00 was well spent

You should be happy with that meter. I also bought the Daiwa CN-801 HP last year. No need for a Bird meter and I will not buy a Dosy.

Yes, very good meter. It doesn't read SWR while in peak mode, but that ain't an issue with me.

With simple wire trick it does.

I am very happy with my LP-100a - no straining to read or worries about inaccuracy.

I got one of those on my Christmas(or before)list. I don't think my MFJ-971's meter works right. Shows too high a dead key in the 300 watt range and not enough in the 30 watt range.

YUP, I am not going to take screws out it's young and unmolestid I just broke a seal telling me to read the manual. For the first time I read the manual....Theres a first for everything.I felt Like I was being Watched?

On my computer the meter looks yellow but it is a nice looking lite blueish color

 

[Mr Clean]

I use the same meter. Works great.

Some may poke fun at it but for around $40.00 I picked up a brand new Radio Shack 21-534 Swr/Pwr meter at my local Radio Shack.
I was also looking for a new meter and didn't want to stick a lot of money into it.
3-30 MHZ
20/200/2000 watt scale in avg or pep.
I couldn't be happier.

The Meter from The Shack is nice, I needed something that is Larger and reads SWR and Power at the same time also peak reading. I wanted Modulation % but have not had good luck with it on a meter.
