I have a cheap CB swr meter (just swr not power meter) and a crossneedle ham-meter. In the instruction sheet they say it is usable between 1.8-30! They are liers!!!!? It works from 1.8 to 50Mhz (yes up to the 6meters band) !!! Very similar reading to the ham meter!!! What a shame... They don't even know what they sell... hihi... hi

SWR and Wattmeters made for CB are often worthless in the ham bands, unless you're only using 10M.? I picked up a Firebird SWR/Wattmeter a while back that was supposed to be good for 1.8-30 MHz.? HAR!? That thing won't even read accurately (or even semi-accurately) at 21 MHz and gets progressively worse the lower you go.? It barely responds with almost 1KW going into it at 3.9MHz.? Needless to say it's going back on ebay.? It is fairly accurate on 10 meters, so it probably is on 11 too.

The only cb ones I have tried on 2 m are the long parallel rod pick up type, they were quite in accurate
For VHF/UHF I use ham products made for the purpose

Hi,
It might start to be a little shaky on the two meter band. And maybe will work there too.

I was thinking about an Albrecht SWR 20 which I can see that is used
only for CB. Do you think it should work for 20/40m band ?
