User questions & answers

Question:	for a cb radio’s with no swr adjustment knob does this need to be hooked up at all times since you have to use this meters own swr calibration knob
Answer:	I'm pretty sure it does. I don't have any bands to test with though.
Question:	Does it work on 3-30mhz bands
Answer:	Their PL259 connectors on both ends to fit the meter and antenna...
Question:	Can i use the p1-259 connectors for the antenna part of the swr meter? even though it comes with the so-239? can they be two different sizes? is that
Answer:	Field strength is the strength of the electric field (units of volts/meter) (or of the magnetic field) radiated by the radio and antenna combination. You are quite right: a calibrated antenna and receiver/meter are needed. Field strength depends on polarization and configuration of the antenna and its ground plane and on the location and orientation of the detector antenna. If the impedances of the antenna cable and antenna are not matched, then some of the signal is radiated, but some reflects back and forth between the radio and the antenna. this builds up energy in the cable that is partly radiated and partly absorbed by the radio power output transistors, which can damage the radio if the standing wave ratio is too high. How high depends on the design of the radio. SWR > 1.5 is generally bad. SWR of 1 is perfect (all the signal power goes out the antenna with none reflected. 1.1 is good, 1.2 is less good. So the SWR meter is connected between the radio and the antenna where is can observe the outgoing and reflected signals in the cable. Perhaps the FS scale is simply making assumptions about the antenna and ground plane to estimate what the field strength would be if the assumptions were correct. But it doesn't measure the field.
Question:	The add states that this unit will check SWR/POWER/FIELD STRENGTH, but the directions don't mention Field Strength readings. I believe you would need a antenna on the meter to do that. The dial has a FS scale but no antenna. Anybody have any input on this subject
Answer:	You might end up losing signal together when the connector falls off like mine did. The connector was not soldered and easily fell off when connecting to my antenna. Look to someone else and not MPD cables. RG-8U/RG-213 is probably overkill for CB frequencies. It is useful for hams in the VHF/UHF range. I suggest good quality RG-8X for your application; more flexible and will save you money.

User questions & answers

Question:	Using my new meter as directed, i am going by the meter on the right for my swr after i adjust the knob, is this correct? both meters say swr on both
Answer:	The barbell isn’t visible on mine.
Question:	Does the transmitter need to be connected to the meter for the fwd/ref switches to work
Answer:	As long as monitor has a hole slot style mount should work. The mount also has addition slots for other types of fasteners or base to be secured to
Question:	will this work to tune a ham radio and a cb
Answer:	Yes, if properly installed, it is easy to remove the camera from the mount to take it with you. On the base of the mount where the camera sits there is an adjustable screw that inserts into a slot on the bottom of the camera. The screw should be adjusted so the camera is held snuggly to the mount, but not so tight that it is difficult to remove. Mine comes off easily. I recently had to take it off to synch the camera to a new monitor and I had no issues.
Question:	What is true frequency range. There are two different ranges listed. One shows HF and VHF and the other shows HF only
Answer:	It for sure works with the HB65, but I'm not sure on the 32. It looks entirely different.

User questions & answers

Question:	Greetings from new zealand. i note the bottom meter scale indicates f.s. so can antenna field strength tests be performed with this meter
Answer:	No unless they are Gaged. I would say start smaller like 20 that would fit.
Question:	i've never had to use an swr tuner before. does this need to stay connected to the handheld cb unit at all times and then disconnect
Answer:	Dear Customer, Three stud earring can be interchangeable with two long stud earring. But the larbret rings can not be interchangeable with others. Thanks for the question.
Question:	Is there a warranty on this
Answer:	The climbers are. The others are smaller.
Question:	Does it come with the "jumper" coax cable
Answer:	Yes, I have both upper and middle cartilage pierced and fits on both my ears .

User questions & answers

Question:	I just built a 2 meter VHF J pole Base Antenna and I need to tune it what type meter do I use
Answer:	You need one for the 2 meter band. Try MFJ enterprises.
Question:	Does it read power of SSB
Answer:	Yes and no... It only reads peak power and as a fluctuations of audio peaks. Usually used to set power in am or CW for measuring beer...
Question:	Does it come with a Jumper Cable
Answer:	Does not come with the jumper cable. Must purchase separately.
Question:	When I rotate the knob, the needle jumps way right or stops short of the set line. No amount of finese helps. Any suggestions
Answer:	These are cheap little Meters. Very finicky. Yours sounds like it is faulty. My suggestion would be to return it for a new one.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use this to connect my Xfinity modem/router to the wall jack without losing internet speed? I'm not technical
Answer:	RG-8X is a 50 Ohm cable. Loss at 140 Mhz (VHF) is about 4.5db per 100 ft. That is more than half More than half your power. UHF will be a lot worse. This cable is not ideal for VHF/UHF unless you are running short cable lengths such as a in a car.
Question:	Does this work on a uniden bc355n scanner
Answer:	Yes, this cable uses a R0HS complaint, UV resistant and 60 Celsius PVC wire and cable compound.
Question:	Am building a ammo can ham radio go-box. A 25watt tri-band in a 5.56mm can. Need short coax from radio to a bulkhead connector. Will this work well
Answer:	Thank you for your question! This cable will work as you may just need to purchase different connectors. Typically, scanners require a coax RG58A with a SMA male to a UHF female connector.

Daiwa CN-901HP Meters offer accurate readings, reliable performance, and great value. Daiwa's large, lighted and easy-to-read cross needle meters will provide your ham shack with consistent readings. CN-901 Series meters feature qualities that will make measuring SWR and power during an antenna test, as well as matching and tuning transmitters, an easy task. Their dual-needle meters have one scale that measures forward power while the other reads reflected power. The existing SWR is indicated at the crossing point of the two needles… so you can read all three of these important measurements at the same time! Their HP models can also measure P.E.P. That's peak power in SSB operation. There are also several frequency-ranges and power levels in the Daiwa CN-901 professional series family to choose from. Specifications: Meter Frequency Range:1.8-200 MHz Minimum Power Range:20 W Middle Power Range:200 W Maximum Power Range:2,000 W Meter Style:Cross needle Meter Illumination:Yes Peak Power Readout:Yes Peak Hold:Yes Built-In Frequency Counter:No Meter RF Connector Type:UHF female, SO-239 DC Power Required:Yes External Power Input Voltage:13.8 Vdc Remote Sensor Included:No SWR/Wattmeter Width:6.300 in.
