Remember, I am no expert so take everything you see with that in mind.
Thanks for watching.
Tom
The output wattage is correct and accurate with the dummy load. The high SWR causes the false watt reading. Great video / review of this Surecom SWR device ! I want one :-). Thanks
Try holding the black box like it says in the instructions. I get a lot better reading with SWR when I do that.
I like how you spoke your callsign every time you transmitted into the dummy load lol
mine has a third bottom option , what does that do ?
Neat lil' SWR meter, reasonably priced!
Neat little device for the shack.
Thank you, Sir.
The power reading is TOTALLY USELESS as Raymond stated unless you have a perfect match ! I just purchased one to measure SWR to get a ball park figure because its small and much more easier than dragging out my HP stuff. Like they say "you get what you pay for". TNX 4 the upload
just got one today works well found out my telescopic antennas have the best swr`s the factory ones suck. and after market antennas are ok.good little meter. but may want to do same test outside away from buildings.
Hi
I have one of these and been using with good results. Put up a new external base antenna today. The SWR was 1.01 and 1.07 at the top of the GMRS channels. So I am very happy with that. While checking the Power wattage using this meter, have you compared the power readings from this meter to another one? The power reading using the dummy load works fine. When I put it on a radio that has a High and Low setting, the high should be 50 watts and the low at 5 watts on my radio GMRS 50X1. The high setting shows 15.5 and the low at 4.9. I can't seem to get the power to read 50 on this meter. The radio screen itself shows it is putting out high power but not sure really what it truly is.
Would you make video with your sw-33 with the VHF Frequency..
Thats why I dont use stock baofeng antennas, get and test a nagoya antenna they are much better. Thanks Tom
I watched another video that this meter also showed high SWR. Are all the antennas de-tuned, or is the adapters and meter on a rubber duck causing the de-tuning?
How's the little meter reading? Im interested in one for my ht's and FT-817nd kit. Thx mike.
Thank you for this video! If you read the instructions for the sw33 it states that you need to touch the box when testing. It brings it down to 1.01 without touching it it's 1.67. Did you try the same thing? Touching the Box while transmitting?
Interesting. When I was testing on my antennas, it triggered my paper shredder. That was weird.
Thank you for the positive review. I'm curious, would this equipment be suitable for testing both my 25-watt and 45-watt base radios, or is it designed specifically for portable radios? Your clarification would be greatly
just got the Mark II of this same model (difference is the Mark II has ONE more mode: ref(lected) power, bottom horizontal segment lights up). I have 3 aftermarket antennas as well as the included antenna for my UV-5RIC (Industry Canada certified). The included antenna is the second version (tapers to the end, not like the first edition that didn't taper and was always reported as being horrible).
The manual says you should touch the SW-33 unit when you take a reading. Which you did not. This greatly affects the SWR reading.
