SW-102 VHF/UHF SWR/POWER METER

 

I have needed a decent, easy to use SWR Meter and power meter for some time that covered VHF/UHF and this fits the bill nicely.  It is simplicity itself to use and gives plenty of information on the display.

Mine needed charging out of the box but it does come with a very Apple like charging plug and a short USB lead.  Charging took very little time and it will be interesting to see how long the charge holds.

Powering on and off is a little unintuitive but once you know, you know :). You hold the red button and the display backlight comes on.  A timer then shows on the screen that counts down until it boots up.  You can then release the button.  Powering down is the same but at the end of the countdown it simply switches off.

The display shows the RF power, frequency and VSWR, as well as showing both forward and reflected power.  It also gives you an idea of what percentage of your RF power is actually being sent up the coax to the aerial.

If you have equipment that is calibrated, there is a menu that allows you to tweak the configuration of the meter to reassure you of its accuracy.  In my tests it seemed just fine.

I got this from Amazon and I was happy with the price I paid for what is a very useful piece of kit.

I have done a short unboxing video and you can find it below.
