Hi Gang, ?I just like to point out that although I only use these at HF, I have been using them for 35 years or more, they work fine! ? There are only a few technology used to measure standing weight ratio in coming years, and the ones for ham radio use the
same technology as CB. ?The CB band is very near the 10 m ham band. ?
The parallel transmission line models would be a little less sensitive on 80 meters due to less pick up, the toroid versions probably work just about the same throughout a wide freq frequency limit
And it¡¯s not hard to build your own! There are quite a few kits ?out there ranging from low-power versions to Hi power versions.
SWR is not really magic, most people in radio have to measure it! ??
If you want to test them, you can make up some low inductance resistor is a 50, 100, and 150 ohms, and use them to test some known SWR values. ? Don¡¯t use wirewound resistors of course, and making resistance by using several in parallel decreases inductance

Is it still an available meter? Is there an eBay/Amazon listing. If you have tested it against a known good SWR meter, I'd like to get one, if it is still at a good price.
