    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.

    I bought it for my brother and he loved it.

    Similar 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.

    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

Daiwa CN-501V 140-525 MHz Cross-Needle SWR/Power Meter w/ SO-239 Connectors. These meters are the replacement for CN-103M due to changes to the toggle switches on the front panel have been replaced with push-button switches. The Cross-needle movement allows the simultaneous monitoring of forward power, reflected power, and SWR, all without the need of an extra calibration procedure. The meter is switchable for 20 or 200 watt full scale readings, and has a built-in lamp which can be powered from an external 13.8 vDC source. Supplied with a DC power cord, which is only required for powering the built-in lamp.
