DAIWA CN-901,3000 WATT,CROSS NEEDLE SWR AND POWER METER AND 200 WATT KPO DG-503, DIGITAL SWR/POWER.

Hello,one of my swr meters must go,but which one,the kpo digital swr/power meter is so easy to use,i can see all the information with a quick look.The Daiwa, 2019 model,is also a good and easy to use swr and power meter,large display,well light,and probably also more accurate readings,there is a 5% error of margin with both meters,both meters need power to operate,not sure why the Daiwa needs power its analoge.For interested parties filmed with go pro 6. 4k/50 frames per second/wide setting,thanks from 19 Charlie Tango 022 Rotterdam.

Thanks for watching!

Both good swr metres, Analogue I like better.

[@tiberioclavdioDrvso6472]

Thanks for sharing... thhis video helps me a lot

[@grunt_mahoney6027]

thanks for the video, the Daiwa is my choice, Both are easy to read the digital one only does 200w....73's

[@Bernard-John]

Hi, there's good and bad points, the digital does 2 meter and 70 cm,,,but just 200 watt's,,,it's what equipment you have, 😀, to make the most of the meter,good luck, better buying new,,,let me know how it goes,,73 from Rotterdam

[@forgetyourlife]

This taught me to stick with analog meters for SSB.

[@Bernard-John]

Hi,I know what you mean, but both meters have plus and negative points, example the digital is easier to read, but the analogue can handle upto 3000 watt's ,thanks from Rotterdam 73.

[@cassiofonte8172]

Thanks for sharing! Exactly what I was looking for.73s

[@Bernard-John]

Hi good luck, if it's helpful, I won't buy one second hand, the meters are sensitive and fragile, succes.

Good video man.

[@Bernard-John]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@naeemaurangzeb1649]

Thanks very much for yet another good video Captain.
Dank je wel.👮‍♂️👍

[@Bernard-John]

Thanks, basically the meter gives an indication that all is in order with the antenna, and and the power output, groetjes,,,

What mic are you using and how do you like it?

[@Dallas-Rife-UDX-347-Tennessee]

I’ve decided on a Daiwa . I have a trusted technician shop that can calibrate them to a Bird meter on his bench . A much cheaper alternative to a Bird meter

[@Bernard-John]

Hi,to be honest, I think that is a good idea 💡, Daiwa seems to be a trusted brand and the meters work well, good luck 👍, 73 from Rotterdam.

[@AB1Vampire]

@@Bernard-John Nice Shack, thanks for posting video with long shots of equipment in operation. I'm deciding the PO meter issue now. I see ot of Reviews on Daiwa and they seem about 50-50 good/critical but cannot justify the cost and complication-factor of the Bird meters. I'm tempted top make one. N2EYE, NY City

[@markgutierrez9295]

Which meter do you prefer? That digital meter or the Daiwa? Thanks!

[@Bernard-John]

Hi, like most things in life, there's positive and negative properties, I actually prefer the swr meter in my amplifier,,,,,thanks 73s from Rotterdam 👍

[@Bransor]

Consider a voice over explaining what you are doing since it's hard to see with your camera up too close to the meters.

[@Bernard-John]

Hi,yes I agree 👍, I made the video some time ago, I have learnt some better techniques,,,thanks from Rotterdam 73

[@gixerags750]

Proper peak HOLD circuits require power.

[@Bernard-John]

Good morning 🙏, thanks for your comments, I now am a bit wiser 😊, 73s from Rotterdam 👍

[@gixerags750]

@Bernard-John Peak meters that don't require power only use a capacitor for their PEAK circuit , not accurate at all and they never have a PEAK HOLD option.

[@WillemvanderHouven]

Bad filming, to close to the subject. blurss the image. but nice to see the two SWR meters together.

[@Bernard-John]

Hi,yes I agree, lucky you don't pay a subscription 🙃🙃, they have improved over the month's, well I think so,🤔🤔,the 2 meters are now history, I needed to get a new yagi,,,73 from Rotterdam, ps the SWR meter in a Hf radio is much better 😉.

[@JayN4GO]

So the diawa meters are plastic and not accurate? It’s been my experience with them. I hate spending money and calibrating them properly.

[@Bernard-John]

Good morning, I brought the Diawa swr - power metre only because its a good size, and easy to see, sold it a while ago, I find the swr-meter in my Icom 7610 and in the amplifier, far more accurate representation of what is happening, but many operators prefer a separate metre, thanks for your comments, 73s from Rotterdam 👍

[@JayN4GO]

@@Bernard-John yeah I just went backwards from a solid state amp to a tube amp. The rf meter isn’t accurate at all. Was looking around to see what’s new. Guess the old drake w4 meter would work ok but no swr on it.

[@gerryhasten7240]

Your shack is getting better, more equipment, but don't collect to much...

[@lewisg6987]

What would you say is better

[@Bernard-John]

Hi,it depends on what you mean by better, Tuesday I am getting a Daiwa cross hair 2000 watt swr and power metre to work with the amplifier, hopefully I can make a video about it,thanks from Rotterdam 73.

[@ON7ER.Radio-amateur]

The Daiwa need to be calibrate...

[@Bernard-John]

Hi,in my experience both meters are not so accurate 😕,,,the swr meter in a modern hf radio is more accurate I found,,,thanks for your comments 73s from Rotterdam 👍👍

[@williampeacock9473]

Its a crying shame to see this Icom 7300 put on the children's band. They should make it illegal for a none ham radio operator to own one. I have been a ham for almost 30 years 73 AE4OY WILLIE P. 😂

[@Bernard-John]

It's not no the children's band,,,that's 40 metres, were licenced operator playing music, turning up on frequency, and purposely disturbing operator,,,I my experience,,,,,,40 metres is the new cb band,,,,thanks 73s from Rotterdam

[@ramjet4025]

Ben, You have posted one of the poorest quality video's I've ever seen that reflects your standards. It's not a standard of video I would want attached to me. You can "learn" by checking camera stability, writing our a rough script, starting with a brief introduction, your narrative that cuts to the chase, displays originality rather than the standard script followed by most youtubers that puts you to sleep. It should be a short length, enjoyable to watch and without major errors which yours is a classic video of how to make the poorest quality video on youtube.
