Mcbazel Surecom SW-102 Digital VHF/UHF 125-525Mhz Antenna Power & SWR Meter

Great unit but did not receive ground plain plate

I just received my SW-102 from Amazon Warehouse. The box was damaged but the meter and accessories are fine. Ive tried it at 146.52 MHz into a lab-grade 50 ohm load it it measured 1:1, just as it should. With a 75 ohm load it measured 2.02:1. Not just an SW meter, its a frequency counter, too. When transmitting the meter displays the freq in MHz. The meter offers the ability to adjust the SWR , power, and frequency counter display so if you have, for example a 50 ohm dummy load that you know is exactly 50 ohms restive impedance its simple to adjust the meters display to exactly 1:1 in 1% increments. The same adjustments can be made to power and frequency. This is a

Got it charged it for two hours and hooked it up to my GMRS radio and I’m VERY SATISFIED!

Nice unit...tells me all I need to know. I keep in line and keeps me up to date...

I should have caught it in the pictures, or in the description, but I over-looked it. And Im guessing a lot of other people have too. The two N-male to SO-239 connectors are fine, EXCEPT for the fact that if you you have a PL-259 coming from the antenna, then you either need one N-Male to SO-239 (IN to meter) and one N-Male to PL-259 (OUT from meter) or one N-Male to SO-239 (IN to meter) and a second N-Male to SO-239 (which is what this comes with) PLUS a PL-259 to PL-259 jumper (OUT from meter). Either that or you just need a completely different set of adapters to and from N-Male. But, whats included only works for one side. I just had to order a PL-259 to PL-259 jumper, so it will be another 2 or 3 days before I can use this meter. Dont make the same mistake I did, double, no, triple check the adapters/jumpers you will need to go to and from N-Male.

Works great!

Avoid this unit. Nearly impossible to read, no useable instructions, awkward menu system - very inconsistent measurement. I do not recommend, and in fact I returned it within a few days.

Works well

I use this all the time to check Power / Frequency / Standing Wave Ratios Super easy to use.

Love the meter, but its basically worthless now. I used this meter for almost a year (purchased in March 2020). It was fantastic! I got good readings and it was super easy to use both at home and on the road. Its small and compact. Built well and easy to read/use. Then after about 6 months, I noticed the battery was not charging while plugged in. The meter was still working, so I didnt worry about it too much. Especially since I used it most of the time plugged in. Then the meter stopped working, even when it was plugged in. I reached out to the manufacturer and got some help getting the case open (its a T6 driver if you are interested), but finding a replacement battery is not a simple task. Typically, I can change a battery. No big deal. But, Im not an electrical wizard that can say oh thats a XYZ battery just use this as a replacement kind of guy. So, I dont know what type of battery is in the meter (see photo) and the manufacturer said they cant ship batteries into the U.S. Further, they did not know where I could get a replacement. Im left with buying a new meter or finding a different one.
