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

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

Mine is way off.. showing about half of the power compared to other meters. Also the SWR going into dummy loads shows high on UHF band. Multiple dummy loads that are rated 1.1:1 up to 1ghz are showing a swr reading of 3:1 while on VHF it shows 1.8:1. Took it to a friends house and mix/matched jumper cables, dummy loads, and radios.. just to rule out my equipment as the cause and confirmed it is in fact a bad meter. Maybe I just got a bad one but I wont buy this brand ever again.

Very nice. Better than my HF meter.

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

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

wonderful

Very nice. Better than my HF meter.

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

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.

A really wattmeter for the money.
