POWER / SWR METER CB Radio 100 Watts w/ 3 Jumper cable - Workman SWR3P & CX-3-PL-PL

I purchase this product becouse its free with 3 jumper cable from seller, my only comments is the Dial windows is like loose from its origin so if you tried to push a litle bit toward inside the box, you want to carry, handle in, is like going to breake. I mean the quality the way they attached the window is not good. thanks

Ordered this item along with other items from this seller and was not happy with either.The meter was missing the control knob that adjust the set point.This is how it was before i even opened the package.I figured oh well i can just turn the thing anyway without the knob.Wanted to send it back but it does function as stated and that was the only thing wrong here.It did come with a good quality 3ft connector coax and i was happy with that.

The needles work. Good quality. But the instructions of use and calibration are foggy to me. I had a similar meter 25 years ago. It seemed alot more easier to use. Its probably me. But Im a retired electrician and worked at Tektronix on higher tech gear than this.

Ok, its likely someone buying one of these already knows how to use it, but why include instructions that are worthless? And who wrote these? I mean they are REALLY bad. Use these instead: [...] Very happy with the actual product though, and the price. Included is the jumper, which is nice.

my swr meter on radio say .8,when i put this meter in line swr reading is over 2 ???

JUST USING IT NOW

Works well

This combination dual SWR meter was exactly what I needed to tune my CB to the antenna. It worked perfectly. The plus side was that the jumper cable was included and it arrived so quickly. Once the antenna was trimmed to the desired length and the SWR on the CB was calibrated, I decided not to leave it in line (permanently installed). Those who desire to do so, may, the meter(s) does not interfere with the operation of the CB.

Pros: Metal casing, solid construction, looks nice, performs well. Cons: VERY POOR INSTRUCTIONS for testing field strength, unit doesnt sit level on a table and rocks back & forth each time you touch it. There was a VERY loose nut inside the unit that I had to tighten, NO ILLUMINATION for night time use, cheap jumper cable included. Okay, now here are some tips on making this a better purchase. First, if you want to test field strength, do some research online. All Ive found so far is that this unit uses the Bridge Method to measure Field Strength. Second, while there is no illumination, there is ample room to add it yourself. Simply tape a LED over each meter, u will need to either install a battery inside the unit to power the LEDs or use an external power supply. In either case you will need a toggle switch to turn the lights on/off. Third, if your unit has an uneven bottom like mine, you can mount the unit under a shelf to make it more stable and easier to work the switches. You will have to loosen the nut holding the tiny antenna and lay the antenna horizontal, then re-tighten the nut. With the antenna out of the way, the unit will now sit flush under a shelf. You can remove the outer case, drill a couple holes, then screw the case in place under a shelf, then slide the unit back into the case and secure it with the 2 rear screws. You can also install the unit on top of a shelf by drilling two holes in the bottom plate and getting them snug enuff that the unit doesnt rock back and forth. But this unit looks much better under a shelf as it hides the coax well. I would have given this unit 5 stars but the crappy directions alone are enough to take a star away. Everything else is a manageable annoyance and most problems are easily resolved with some HillBilly engineering. Finally, replace the included jumper cable with a better quality jumper.

Fast shipping, works as described. Would recommend.
