I am looking for an affordable power/swr meter for six meters. Anybody seen any? (Hint, hint Copper, something to go with the 5054?) |

I've used a rated 1.8 thru 30 Mhz (C/B) meter all the way up to 148 Mhz and as along as it will calibrate it's going to be a useful measurement. I'm quite sure a C-B vswr meter will work fine at 50 Mhz, although I've never actually tried it. sb106 |

I've used mine. It won't quite cal, but I did the math to compensate. No way the power reading is close.
Thanks guys for the replies!

Re Z
Ol Sandie is correct. You can use an HF SWR Meter up to the 144 mhz range. BUT the accuracy falls off a bit.
Sorry to tell you but SWR Meters specifically designed to VHF and UHF country have a tendency to be to the expensive side.
If you wish to purchase a specific one you might check our good buddies at Copper Electronics in their on line catalog. If they do not have any you might find one on the Texas Towers web site. |

PDC-5 is fairly accurate on 50MHz. I used one on a TenTec transverter output. It showed about 7 watts while a Daiwa rated up to 150MHz showed 6.5 |
