I am looking to buy a meter. I am interested in the DOSY TC4002PSW.
DOSY TC4002PSW
I have done a search on this meter, but have not found that much info on it. Is this meter any good or should I look at buying something else?

That's the one i've used several years with no problems. They show more "swing" after a few years use but that's ok, it looks good.  |

That's what I use and I like it. Actually mine's the 4002SW (no light). Some (ok, maybe a lot) will say the Dosy's don't give you a "real" power reading. That is, say 4 watts swinging 15 vs 4 swinging 12 or the other way around. Whatever, it's all relative. As long as it swings left to right. The mod meter and the swr work well. I've had mine about 10+ years and have never had a problem with it. |

Buy the meter you like to look at because that's pretty much what they're for. Most will do an okay job at RMS, but no meter is good for swing. Decent PEP meters (powered - not just a capacitor) need a constant tone to show even a reasonably accurate measurement. |
