I have 2 of these and they are as accurate as my Bird43. They are a bargain for the level of accuracy they provide.

@@mostlypostie1 I'd wait a little bit on these. They need to up quality control a little bit first. Just because one person says "same as bird" doesn't reflect other users comments. I don't think the price is a bargain either because it's micro-sized. Cost to manufacture is prob only 20% of what is sells for too. NAFTA is what killed good o'l USA Electronics engineering. Tired of crap imports ESPECIALLY FROM CHINA.

@@RogerBrenon let me clarify that. It is as accurate as a Bird 43, a brand new calibrated Spectrum Analyser, and a new LP-100a. Also, it's made in Australia. It's a quality device that has been in the market for a few years already. 73.

I have 2 one for vhf-uhf and another for GMRS. They help you watch for high SWR, and look good around your radio's. Now I need one for HF rig. I use one for each radio, they are not cheap but are worth the investment to protect your radio's. About 169.00 ea.

I've had one of these for about a year. What it really does for me is give me an indication my radio(s) and amp are working/responding as expected. I acknowledge the values may be/are off, but it still provides useful indications, especially peak-hold. I’m still liking and using the K-PO DX5000 plus I got from you almost two years ago. The DX5000 shines on FM and I can’t ever see buying another radio without NR. David E.

Cool video Brother! Good seeing the comparison of a Daiwa to the LP100A. 🎙🎙🎙

Hi Mike. I have the exact same meter here. And i really like it. I find it accurate as well . Best 73s hope to talk to you on the band again soon . WR456🇬🇧 Richy.

Thank you for this Mike. I have been eying this meter and the big "true peak" MFJ meter. My only requirements are a decent powered pep reading and swr readings for 6m too.

You could always open it up and calibrate it to the LP100A..😊

In theory it sounds doable. But in reality the Diawa meter is not designed to be as accurate as a LP 100A. Same as when people say they calibrate a meter to a bird 43p. You can't recalibrate a meter with a poorly designed peak detection circuit to a meter with a quality peak detection circuit.

Yeah, they are decent meters. The reflect meter makes reading reflect easy, no adjustments needed. 👍#2

Hello Scott. I have this meter, and the SWR needle does not move. Whats the trick? I see yours does not move either, but you’re on a dummy load.

I have a 901 for a while, I do like it. I think there is a delay adjustment on the back for the peak and hold function. I could be wrong. If it does, I never messed with mine. It does have to have power for the PEP function to work, and on mine I think it has to be on AVG for it to read SWR. Or maybe I have that backwards? I got it for under 180$ a few yrs ago for the larger scale. I still have my CN-501H which is inline currently, it does have a PEP/AVG but no hold. Its good from 1.3-150mhz Its has the smaller scale. It seems to be a little more "accurate" in its readings VS the 901. But like your saying, great for a monitoring device that's "fairly" close. Now come to think of it, I may have the 901 HP and not the HP3? I'll have to look now..lol Its packed away from a previous relocate/move. This might be the difference in that powered Peak hold, no swr reading function? and they changed it so it does (HP3)

I got a small MFJ meter like that. reads about the same. maybe a tad better. I don't care about precise numbers. the reflect power to me with the power forward has more info to me on how my antenna is doing. just a glance tells me if radio power or reflect is bad. 73'

Been running this for few yrs now,Its a lil stingy ..but a great meter none the less.Seems to be less stingy the closer you get to scale.

Yes the calibration is lacking. +/- 10% really isn't the best. It does work how it's intended based on its specification. I think the Ameritron meter I mentioned in the video is a more accurate meter from my experience.

Nice meter , I have a MFJ 30- 3000 and it seems to act funny . Seems to be fine on peak , but when I push the average power button it goes crazy and makes my radio go off frequency. Any ideas ? Not to much money but has me wanting a new one . 73ZZzzz Sir love your videos

I used to use a Dosy Test Center in my younger days. If only they would put a real peak circuit in those meters. They do look great, but they don't measure peak power.
