Mcbazel Surecom SW-33 Plus 100W 125-525 MHz Mini Digital VHF UHF Two-Way Radio Handheld Power & SWR Meter Black

For the money, this meter seemed like it would do all that I needed: show how much power my radios were putting out and, more importantly, help me decide if various antennas were effective when I used them.To this end, I put a given antenna on the meter, connected it to the radio and keyed the transmitter. (Note that you have to follow the instructions when you do this. You have to be holding the metal case of the meter to insure there's a ground plane--as shown in the pictures and described in the user manual. Failure to do this will result in erroneous data. I took notes of the antennas used and the frequencies tested. I mention this because I have seen reviews of similar models where people complain about inaccuracies without mentioning that they are testing properly.)I can't give positive proof that the meter is accurate because I don't have a meter to compare it to. (That's why I had to buy one--I didn't have one.) But in the setup described above, I was able to obtain repeatable readings even when I would change frequencies. Each time I returned to the same frequency/antenna combination I was able to get a reading very, very close to the previous one at that frequency/antenna. This makes me feel that things are working properly.I was pleased with the assortment of connectors and adapters included with this meter. I did not have to purchase any others to do my testing. I was also pleased that the kit included a dummy load so that I could check the power output of my radios. Again, I can't vouch for the accuracy, not having another meter to compare it to, but I was able to get consistent readings for any given radio at a given frequency and the readings were about what I expected the radio to produce so I'm inclined to believe that the meter is good and probably more than accurate enough for my purposes.Overall a good value. The meter works, is easy to use, gives consistent readings that appear to be correct and includes a good selection of accessories that highly increase its usefulness.

Device works well and is easy to attach and operate. Comes with a variety of connectors to fit most handhelds. Good product, good price.

This is the perfect size for use with handheld transceivers (HT). It has the correct SMA connectors for connecting your HT to your antenna in order to measure power and VSWR. The power readings are not perfectly accurate but not bad either. I'm an old man and my eyesight isn't great but I had no problem reading the display. The battery life is adequate. I didn't need other connectors but it comes with an assortment and a nice, compact 50 ohm dummy load rated at 5 watts average and 20 watts peak. This is perfect for my HT.This VSWR bridge is rated for 120 watts and a VSWR below 20:1. It requires a minimum of 3 watts. It is only usable over a frequency range of 125MHz to 525MHz. It is built into a rugged metal case with a nice LCD.It comes with an USB cable but no 5V charging wall unit. These are readily available.I highly recommend this VSWR bridge for use with your VHF and UHF HT or other transceiver. You can determine whether your transceiver and antenna are properly working in less than a minute or two. High VSWR can quickly destroy the final amplifies in many transceivers. This is an inexpensive way to prevent such problems and improve your radios performance.

Excellent Item. It is very useful for the price. The battery seems to last a long time as I have not yet charged it. Using it, I was able to find that one of my radios had a serious issue with the transmit power on uhf. Anyone interested in two way radios, should have this in there tool box.

Assuming this is accurate, it seems to work well. I don’t have anything else to measure it against.You do have to hold the unit while you transmit if you’re checking the antenna vswr. This is a weird variable, and seems to have some room for error. I try to do EXACTLY what is pictured in the manual.Seems to hold a charge for quite some time, and is very compact. So much so that the box it comes in is over the top big.

Super nice SWR-POWER METER! Works great.This SWR worked as good as three other lab calibrated SWR meters.The small size makes it perfect for aligning mobile and back packing, park working and mountain topping.Clyde KC7BJE

I've been using a SW-102 by Surecom for a few years now. Sadly, it took up a lot of space in my radio tool box, and I wanted something that would fit.This was the ticket. about the size of a pack of gum, rechargeable, easy to use for just SWR and Wattage. And it fits in a little compartment in my tool box with all its adapters and charging cable. Outstanding!

Worked well. Allowed me to check my radio antennae’s SWR.
