Who makes a 3 Face Test Center with an antenna switch built into it?

I like the Dosy Test Centers, but the ones with antenna switches, only have one switchable meter face.

Crackerjack,

It is NOT a 3 faced Meter but has a Large 4.5" Single Meter that is easy to see and use.

CLICK on the Link Below.

DOSY TC-4002 SW-4 Watt Meter

Features"

In line Watt Meter

4.5" Meter

Four Watt Ranges:0-20W,0-200W,0-2000W,0-4000W

Reads RMS,Peak Power, Modulation Percentage, SWR,SSB Modulation

Includes Antenna Selector Switch


Hope this helps,

Lon

Aries makes one, the HP-5000 and I think Astatic makes one also.

I don't know how good they are actually. I have the HP-5000 and calibrated it to my Coaxial Dynamics meter.

Anyone interested in what pot's inside that meter do what, here they are:

RV4 - controls 5kw scale POWER
RV8 - controls 5kw scale SWR

RV3 - controls 500w scale POWER
RV7 - controls 500w scale SWR

RV2 - controls 50w scale POWER
RV6 - controls 50w scale SWR

RV1 - controls 5w scale POWER
RV5 - controls 5w scale SWR

RV1 and RV5 are located on the back on the PCB inside the meter. Make sure you mark them before you move them to be sure. There are others inside the meter, but I haven't messed with them yet. I don't really trust the SWR meter anyway and don't use the modulation meter. That is what my scope is for and when I really want a TRUE power reading, I use the Coaxial meter and check my SWR with the reverse power readings...
