Next?
Yeah, but....but....but.. it will measure your swang, too.
ETA: HF or VHF/UHF, and what power range does it need to be?
My 706 aint got no "swang"
I, on the other hand, have lots of "Hang 'n' Swang"

Do you already have a manual tuner? If so, it will tell you the SWR.Quote:

Although more expensive, I have a couple of Bird watt meters, but only use them or the service monitors for service and certification. When the Diamond or Daiwa are compared to the Bird, they are surprisingly accurate. Certainly good enough for daily use for station monitoring and antenna work.
The only issue I have had with either is the lamp in the Daiwa burned out, and I replaced it with bright blue LED which looks much nicer and will probably last longer than I will.
No. I have rebuilt my High Sierra motorized antenna and will be using that as my primary until I get time/motivation to put up better more semi-permanent install. These type antenna dont need tuners. Not looking for permanent at this time because we may be moving in the the not too far future.Quote:
