DAIWA CN-501V 140-525 MHz Cross-Needle SWR/Power Meter W/ SO239s

I gave it 4 stars only because there is one flaw that i.m.o. doesnt warrant 5 stars. There is no power switch for the LED light. I had to drill a hole and mount a switch above the power plug in order to be able to switch the blinding blue LED light off. That light is annoying sitting in the shack in the evening.

Es un excelente medidor y de ua marca reconocida y el precio más que excelente espero que puedan seguir ofreciendo estas ofertas .....

Readings were all over the place. VHF vs. UHF. Low range vs. High range. Readings were off by 20-50%. Totally unacceptable.

Very accurate.

Very responsive indication needles. And the two power settings with an off setting is convenient.

Accuracy in lower scale seems accurate with forward and reflected. However on high scale forward and reflected power highly inaccurate. On 20W scale with 15W in forward power was 15W out , while on 200W scale forward power only 10W. I do like the appearance and the OFF switch. The only problem was accuracy.

used to evaluate antenna swr and power output, does a great job, well built

Stuck needle when I got it. A swift good old tap on the top unstuck it. Works well. Measurements are OK from what I can tell.

This is my 1st personal swr/pwr meter having to borrow one a few times. This meter is very easy to read and appears to work very well. A word to the wise is to keep the watts setting at 200 watts until you VERIFY the output of your radio is under 20 watts. Then you can shift down to the 20w setting. Failure to do so may render your meter unworkable as my friend found out. Otherwise I am very satisfied with this product and would recommend it.

Works good light is nice for reading in subdued light Only use it on a couple of different antennas and coax combinations but appears to give a good reading
