ive got an astatic 700 meter with the nice big meter .
im thinking about getting a better meter but i dont want to spend a lot . i know the palstars are accurate and well built but it only has a 300 watt and 2000 watt selection but id like a smaller scale to use for barefoot radios .

anyhow MFJ (mighty fine junk?) has a neat lookin new meter thats digital and tells vswr , power and frequency all at the same time on a LCD display , its the mfj-826B . $180
it can be had for $130 though https://www.hamcity.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=155&idproduct=1834
heres its manual MFJ Enterprises Inc.

it also has a big brother
MFJ Enterprises Inc.

IF.....if i did get a new meter does anyone know if this would be worth considering ?
if its anything like their analizers it should be pretty accurate . it would be coll to have a frequency counter too .

anyway , just thinking ..................................
