Re: Measuring the output power
|
There are SWR meters that also measure power.? Has switch for selecting which mode.? I have a $20 dual meter that has power and SWR and a low 15W and 100W position.?
When getting any SWR or power meter make sure it is made for your frequency range.? Many are for CB and work ok at 27 MHz, but not so accurate at lower HF bands.
All Hams, IMHO, should have SWR meters, no matter the bands of interest.? Is essential for antenna work.
