While I continue to build out my new shack, I have started to pick up a few new goodies. Today I wanted to take a first look at my choice for SWR and Wattmeter, which is the MFJ-849 Digital SWR and Wattmeter.
Overall I went with this model because it covers HF as well as VHF and UHF frequency ranges and I wanted an all in one meter that I could use for testing radios as well as everyday use in my station. So this one covers 1.8-60 MHz and then also covers 125-525 MHz all in one box while being capable of reading up to 200 watts of output power.
This video we take a look at what's in the box, open up the meter itself and look at what is inside, then hook it up to power and to a radio and look at the operation of it.
Overall I think this will be a good choice, and am happy to add it to my shack!
