Nice looking meter.
Thanks! Glad you liked the video 👍
Nice addition to any shack
Yeah, it’s pretty cool. Thanks for the comment Don 👍
Awesome!! Thank you :)
🤜🏻👍🤛🏻♡♡♡
I like how you always say... it'll make you happy ♡♡♡
Haha, glad you liked the video 👍
Ape, I have the high power version of the meter and I use it to tune my Amp. I love it. The only problem I have is how short the cord is but that is minor.
I like it too, you can make a new cable if needed 👍
When using an amplifier is the meter in line from antana to amp .
5:50 I love that 3D printed radio stand
Yeah, it turned out great! Thanks man 👍
Nice...........
Thanks 👍
That was a cool video and yeah, giant meter! Thanks for showing us this
Not bad looking and the LED backlight is great.
I wonder what option card those little standoffs are or were intended for?
Thanks Mike, I’m glad you liked it 👍
Thank you Ape. Very fine video. 73 de KG7LOI
Thanks Clark 🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅
I do not have an external SWR meter such as you do in this video. I just rely on my internal SWR meter on the the radio however I do have a question about my analog meter on my radio. I have the IC-7300. This IC-7300 has an analog meter. When I set my IC-7300 to 100 watts and key up my mic the forward power is suppose to show 100 watts of forward power being put out however my analog meter shows only 35 watts of forward power being put out. What do you think could be causing such a huge discrepancy between the 100 watts the IC-7300 is set to and and the actual amount of forward power (35watts) that is being put out?
Could it be measuring average and not peak? If I had to guess, I would say you are testing on SSB, try RTTY.
I was under the impression that a true PEP circuit required power?
Cheers
It's the total power from the radio
That was a strong 5-9
Haha 👍
As suggestion use am carrier when trying to view steady pwr needle output 😉 not sure about the size of those wires on 200w output 😬🧐☺️ KC3ONO
The coax wires? It was a 25w max? That wasn’t a permanent install 👍
TheSmokinApe no i was referring to gauge of wires inside the meter, not your coax. I know your smarter then to waste precious watts to coax. Home made balanced twin lead is the only way to get all your power out ☺️ Kevin
Ah, gotcha. Yeah, that could have been beefier wire 👍
this meter is not rated for VHF/UHF frequencies ?
They have different versions for different bands.
@@TheSmokinApe yes sir, I have the 894, which is why it caught my eye that you put a 2 meter on tht meter and it looks like it worked, even tho it is not spec for that.
Mine says 1.6-525MHz
@@TheSmokinApe IC now, the one in video didnt have the button switch for HF/VHF, so i assumed it was only rated for HF, my bad.
the peak reading is not a peak reading . only the 891 has the real peak reading feature which requires power
You know you are ment to yell auuuudioooooooooooo in the mic for a test lol
The temptation was strong 👍
@@TheSmokinApe . Don't forget the second runner up Hellooooooo
ubergeek318 we must watch the same videos 👍
I'm gonna pass. Thanks though ; P
