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

previous review deleted. why??? item calibration off indicating wrong values. returned item. seller not concerned about item quality or if it even works, they were only concerned about me changing negative feedback.

Works very well and it is accurate enough to let you know if your radio set up is performing properly. Excellent value for the money.

only works within HAM bands, not 125-525MHz as described, Useless to me. Misrepresented item. also on the bands it works in says everything has a perfect match, thats not possible

I ordered this meter because of the great reviews, good price and advertised wide frequency coverage. But clearly the advertised frequency coverage is very misleading. It does not even come close to being accurate on the 220Mhz ham radio band, the wattage and swr readings are way off. It claims coverage of 125 - 525Mhz, thats simply not true! The only reading that was accurate on the 220Mhz FM band was the transmit frequency read out, thats all. I will say that it was spot on in the 144 - 148Mhz and 440 - 450Mhz FM ham radio bands. It worked great on those bands but this meter does not serve my needs because I needed a meter that has coverage on the 220Mhz band, this one wont do it! I would have given it 5 stars but only gave it 2 stars because of the bogus, misleading frequency coverage. I will likely be returning it for a refund.

So far so good! I charged it up and ran some tests with a DB Products 50 watt dummy load as well as a few antennas, what it reads with the dummy load matches its specs as reference, and although it tends to display 0.001~0.002-/+ on the frequency counter, adjusting it in the menu gets it close/corrected, and since the value changed based on the radio I was using its probably somewhat to blame on the equipment input and not the wholly the measuring device here. Its simple to use, feels sturdy, does what I want it to do, seems reasonably accurate, and the price is agreeable in comparison to the alternatives that are harder to get a precise reading snapshot from anyways. A note, I thought the pictured adapters were N to PL-259(UHF), but NOPE, it comes with N to SO-239 which just seems so much less common to me... I dont know why nothing is mentioned about the included adapters, but Im sure most people will look at the picture and assume theyre getting N to 259. Anyways, Ill attach two pictures of actual readings I got using this unit from a TYT UV-8000E and Diamond SRH77CA to give you an idea of what to expect when you use it. Its nice that it leaves the last readings up so you have time to make reference without being keyed up.

not easy to use, still trying to figure it out

Arrived as advertised. Easy to use. Excellent value at a great price.

I found this product to meet my needs and expectations. One thing to note it comes with N connectors, however, PL adapters are included they just extend the width of the unit if space is an issue for you. I would recommend this product if you are in need of an SWR Meter.

Poor quality connections; pins inside the female connection broke off making the meter unusable. I will attempt reaching out to the MFG for warrenty claim. (Not holding my breath) F/up: crickets from mfg. Glad I did not hold my breath.

It seems to measure swr ok but slightly off by a few digits but on power its off big time. Like a brand new radio out the box that is supposed to be 65 watts this thing only shows 51 watts. Tried it on various vhf radios with the same results. Not sure if it looses calibration after a while but mine is way off.
