Even if the battery life were an issue, it would be incredibly simple to replace it with one of a larger capacity. There looks to be plenty of room for a larger battery. Neat little device.

What a nice unit... Small form factor yet huge in features...

I bought one of these just after watching this...
A year on and it is still working fine, accuracy is fine also.
On a recent trip I did a few days of Radio, Battery lasted.

I'm just about to Buy another to do some In and Out Testing of a HF Linear.

Just bought a dl-30a dummy load. How do I connect this to the power/swr meter to check the swr. thanks; this is my first dummy load.

I wasn't much impressed by the solder connection of the SO-239s' center pin to the board. The blob on the TX side was kinda stringy and elongated... might not take a lot of jostling in the field to break it. Otherwise I like it! And the price isn't hideous either.

It is both interesting and unusual that labels are printed on both sides of the front and rear panels.

Curious if one can run the meter off of the power supplied by the USB-C and not damage anything.

It's usefull and cheap. I had to order it :D Thnx for tip.

Curious did ou have any "hash" noise interference caused to the radio receive when the Swr meter is turned on? I have heard another model with the 4" screen has this problem

[MINI-X-RADIO]

Afterthought, I wish they did it with BNC Sockets, everything else in my QRP Setup is BNC.

Have you reviewed the MicroHam Power Vector Meter yet? It is the best!

[facebookinger]

how accurate is this? It doesn't do calibrating?

[abdulrasoulalmansour]

Will this swr meter work on 2 Meter band?

For unknown reason chinese manufacturer like serif fonts on technical devices. Non-Serif fonts would provide better readability and a more harmonized look with the enclosure

Buen día amigo, tengo un equipo igual al de usted, hay una opción que descubrí en el equipo y no se para que es. El equipo lo tengo apagado presionó el botón de alert y enciendo con el botón de encender y sale una opción que dice FWD Fine adjustment y sale +0 aciende hasta +20 de igual deciende hasta - 20. Igual tiene otra opción el equipo apagado presionó la tecla Full y enciendo el equipo y me sale la opción SWR Fine adjustment +0 ascendiendo hasta +20 y desciendo hasta - 20 los parámetros los deje en +0. Me puede ayudar qué significa esta opcion. Gracias

I just received one of these and for some reason it works fine on FM, but not SSB. Power reads incorrectly (radio set to 50W and meter's power is all over the place, but settles at 1.7W. I have a message in to the Ebay seller, and will update here.

Would be cool if it cut to a dummy load if you ignored the alarm for too long.
