04-06-2025I 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.

> 3 daySimilar results as Sev reported. No SWR (reflected power) indicated on 200 watt range but while on 20 watt range reflected power all over the map. Used my AEA analyzer to plot actual SWR vs. Frequency of my Comet dual band Base antenna then compared the results with my Bird wattmeter and finally this Daiwa. No surprise the AEA and Bird were very close while the Daiwa was much higher reflected on the 20 watt range. Even reversed the input and output coax to the Daiwa while using the Bird in line with a Bird 100 watt DL and 5 watts from my VHF transmitter. Forward power (measured on the Daiwa reflected scale) no where close and what was strange was the fwd power on the reflected scale was indicating lower than 5 watts (opposite of the indication when connected normally to my antenna - indicated higher reflected power). Did not even bother evaluating the UHF accuracy. No on off switch for the lamp either! Spend your $ elsewhere.

Greater than one weekThe meter is very accurate, simple too use, and the power output/reflected power match up with another well known meter I have. A worthwhile investment if your looking for a great meter!

> 3 dayThis 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.

> 3 dayWorks 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
