Pros & Cons

Pros

Product is much nicer than i expected with a metal casing. Came as advertised and in excellent condition.

Cons

The 10w/100w switch was broken. The units are packed too tightly for shipping. Both meters function to some extent, but the watt meter is useless.

Using swr readings with any of these meters, where ht antennas are so close to the meters, is very problematic. The swr meter needle is inaccurate and will read 1. Even with it being calibrated to the set line.

Quality

Well made for the price why spend more when this little swr meter does it all and its build quality is all metal

Unit works just fine on this set

Be careful with the board if you do this the traces burn easily

If there were better quality drop in replacement meters i didnt find them after a lot of searching

Price

Price was good and it gave power stength and swr readings

Competitiveness

Perfect for casual use at a competitive price and accurate readings for 10 and 11 meter radios

Useful piece of ham gear at a cheap price but that price comes with cut corners in the allimportant panel meters
