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

Easy to use

I ordered the model with N connectors and that was my mistake, however, it does come with Adapters. I had trouble with the supplied adapters giving false readings like crazy high SWR readings on a known good antenna and coax. I replaced both adapters and problems solved. The meter is touchy to use but it is accurate enough once you get the adapter problem resolved. I would NOT recommend changing the settings in its menu unless you know exactly what you are doing. Its not badly made but the display is hard to see outside in bright sunlight. One thing it is very touchy as in you have to lay it down, not touch it when you are getting readings because if you hold it that can change the readings enough to give you a false reading. It is sensitive to say the least!

Wow, I love this little guy. I work on 2-way radios for a school bus terminal. This saves me so much time! worth every penny.

Ive been wanting a digital SWR meter to augment my MFJ-893 analog meter, and I cant currently justify the cost of a fancy digital broadband unit. For $50, I half-expected this not to work. After watching a demo video on YouTube and doing some research, I decided to give it a try, and I cant say I regret it. I wouldnt trust this as my sole meter—not without first calibrating it against a known-good source, and I havent owned it long enough to know if its going to drift—but its perfect as a second reference when taking multiple readings from a questionable transceiver. The great thing about this item is that its the perfect size and weight to connect to an HT with a set of optional N to SMA adapters, which enables you hold the radio as you actually would during normal operation. This obviously makes a huge difference with regard to getting accurate SWR readings from handheld antennas. Most of my handheld/mobile gear doesnt include proper metering, so I expect to get a lot of use out of this.

Great meter, very accurate

Good value for the price.

Adj. for power and freq. are time consuming. Once set its good.

I meant to buy the one with the sma-female connector, but instead bought another. not a big deal and buying the proper adapter allowed me to test it thoroughly. I am thrilled at how easy and useful this device is. I have used it countless times without the battery sweating a single drop. Tested many antennas and found some that exceeded 4.5:1, tuned them, and have immensely expanded my knowledge on radios in general. Overall, I recommend this highly to anyone needing an swr meter, or just like owning high quality products to show off how intelligent you are :P

I put this on my Hytera MD-782G, which is a 400 MHz radio, with high power, the meter reported 7 watts, and the frequency to be 221 mhz. Both readings were way off. I switched antennas, and got the same readings. Im going to try to return it. I just wish I didnt wait so long to try it out. The design looks nice, but it has to work better to be a good meter. Right now it is useless to me.

Excelente la batería dura muchísimo y trabaja bien precisó.
