You are one of the clearer youtubers. Keep up the good work and thanks for this video

[@SevenFortyOne]

Thanks! I'm glad you like my video

[@DroneFun]

I have the MFJ-873 which is the same type of meter however for 2 and 70cm band. Very satisfied with it. Not the best in accuracy but super for my hamradio needs at a fair price.Tks for the video.

[@Pyridox]

Thanks for the demo. I have some other MFJ equipment that I used a long time ago for my SW receiver, they make decent equipment most of it affordable.

[@KX4UL]

Thanks for a very good demo! Looks like a nice meter, especially for the price you paid.

[@k7kdx114]

Excellent demo. Thanks!

I have the 874 (1.8-525 mhz). It helped me get my quad band Comet tuned nicely. I was thinking it was UHF/VHF, but after looking at it again I realize I can tune anything I have with it. Still want an analyzer.
Now if I could avoid whackin em on trees and breakin em.

[@seamore34209]

i like the Diawa 901hp. top shelf meter. good for 2000 watts.

Helped with my NCG 3000 meter, thanks de K3UK

[@jerryadkins758]

How do we read the watts on the meter?

[@vegasfordguy]

It's a good meter except it doesn't read true PEP numbers. With an amplifier that does 2000 watts on a bird peak reading meter, this MFJ only shows 1400 PEP. I have two I purchased brand new, they both read extremely low PEP numbers and between the two meters there is a 50 watt difference. It's good to let you know your equipment is working, but not accurate by any means.

Good meter for the money.

Do I have to do SWR SET every time I adjust my antenna? If I switch to another antenna, do I need to do SWR SET again?

[@SevenFortyOne]

It's a good idea to check it each time

[@franciscolopez3229]

Sir, may I ask, am I right you can also use this meter for CB, 27MHz.?

[@SevenFortyOne]

It should work, check the manual to be sure

[@nramroop79]

Hi sir could this unit stay connected to my CB antenna as a daily use

[@SevenFortyOne]

Yes. It should work for CB

[@nramroop79]

Thank you I’m having a hard time figuring out How to set the height of my whip

[@keeganbaker710]
