Hello Peter - belated compliments of the season to you and family. I have the same meter for a long time now. Great meter and very well built. 73 de Ger
Very good meters! I have the CN 501V for 2m / 70cms, and it is very accurate! Even if you have a SWR meter on your radio, it could fail, so I like a separate dedicated meter. Some ask why bother running an external meter on VHF/UHF and I tell them that with a basic dual band 50 to 65 watt radio costing north of $300 USD, why not run a meter? Coax fails, Antennas arent always as advertised on SWR values and they also fail.
I have a cn-901 and it is not accurate, so bought a new swr meter this is a digital display on cqv 508 and it works fine, I also have a manual tuner mfj versa III with swr meter together with icom ic 705 it works fine
@@watersstanton Exactly! I heard you speaking. By switching the ptt button of your handheld mic (clicking noise) and speaking during the transmission (explaining your RUclips audience the external swr meter) you certainly need (at least) some hundred Hertz of bandwidth on both side bands? Your 10 watts can be received as a strong signal all over Europe and even over the pond. I’ll stick with my statement. You should pay more attention to your fellow radio amateurs on the 20m band, please.
Fantastic meter had mine for some time - good build quality, no complaints.
Nice to hear.

Excellent video as usual Peter! Thanks and keep them coming.
Thanks, will do!
Looks like a very nice piece of Test Equipment and fairly priced as well. Thank You ! Happy New Year de KC3ZDW 73
Happy new year to you.
Another great video, thanks so much. It would be nice to also see what knobs your turning as your showing the meter results. Thanks
All noted.
Very good video good information
Thanks

Thanks for sharing
Needles crossing - Thank you for that Information.
You are very welcome.
Nothing works on 252 kHz though 😅 I wish I could find one that did so my antenna testing would be more realistic
What's the insertion loss? Not in the documentation.
Too small to measure! As it uses a coaxial strip it probably not much different than a short length of coax!

Shouldn’t you better leave the cw portion of the band alone with your am carrier? - Not very polite of you?
AM mode generates a pure CW signal. There is no modulation unless you speak into the mic!
