Mini SWR Meter for Magloop Antenna MC-20 Tuning (review)

I found very interesting to use this very small SWR meter with my MC-20 Magloop Antenna for tuning. Especially if I use the transceiver without a built-in SWR meter. I bought it for 20 Euros only.

Interesting SWR meter Paul . Thanks for your review.
As a QRP operator I always worry about losing any of my power to SWR meters and this one relies on your RF power to illuminate the LEDs. I
know the power required is not much but my preference for QRP meters is to use the 'Bridge type' SWR meter that can be switched out of circuit once resonance has been achieved.

Dear Poul..., if you dummy load is variable, like 50, 100, 150 ohm.., for 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 respectively, you can be more confident for the readers and performance for the new test set... but look like promising.., thanks YV6ENB

De acuerdo. Saludos Leopoldo de 2w0yvy

I would open it and try to reduce resistor values to give it a 1 -10W range. Would also be nice to fit the correct connectors. I'll buy one and try it.

Any idea how to get this working on QRP power? Would be a nice addition to the G106 and other QRP radios below 5 watts

Good review, thank you!

Jedna maličkost mi tam přece jen chyběla. Měl jste oba SWR metry zapojit v opačném pořadí aby bylo vidět jaký útlum má ten LEDkový. Jelikož VF energie rozsvěcuje LED jistě to nebude úplně zanedbatelné.

I have that same meter, and it beeps as well (periodically)

hi, can you share the schematic of the mini swr bridge?

[@Jim-xs2fl]

Or. You could get a n6ara tinyswr meter. Ham radio tube channel - n6ara tinyswr meter build

Hello , nice review. Is there any option to get it with bnc instead of PL? 73 qro and Happy New Year to you. HB9GUR Phil

[@OM0ET]

Thanks! I don't think so. I have used BNC adapters

[@ralph9987]

I would like to see 100w through it

[@klounader]

Is there one on VHF/UHF?

[@Mike500912]

I guess you could swap the LEDs for the extra bright versions ???

Thanks Paul. 73 DE TA2BOS

There is no simple, effective and confusing information. Thanks for the review OM0ET. 🙏🏻
