    Best SWR/Watt meter for around US$100

    need recommendation for a good HF swr/watt meter for around $100. Been lookin on EHAM but the ones in that price range are all low review scores. ANyone know of a good one for that price range?

    You get your best swar meter right here, Good Buddy.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Yeah, but....but....but.. it will measure your swang, too.



    ETA: HF or VHF/UHF, and what power range does it need to be?

    Yes I have been looking hard at the Daiwa's. The Diamonds I'm not so sure about. I like a cross needle meters better than the single needle that you always have to switch between swr/W. I had been looking hard at the SX200 and that has some moderate reviews on eham. Found that for $89 which is a good price. The CN101 I'm also looking at is available and looks nicer but has far fewer reviews on it. The CN101L has crappy reviews. Im not sure what the difference is between them though.

    Also looking at Ameritron meters. A bit more pricey. I see Ameritron is owned by MFJ... Are the any good or are the junk like a lot of MFJ products?
