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

A really wattmeter for the money.

I bought it for my brother and he loved it.

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.

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

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

Very accurate.

The 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!

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.
