  • Nicely made, but power ranges were not well calibrated
I wanted a small wattmeter and SWR bridge for portable ham operations. This unit arrived quickly and seemed nicely built (especially at the low price). The SWR function was fine, but the two power ranges were both mis-calibrated. Both the 10 and 100 watt ranges showed about 7 watts when being driven with 10 watts. I confirmed this with my Bird 43 and an MFJ ham wattmeter. With all three meters in series, the Bird 43 and the MFJ showed the expected 10 watts, but the Astatic showed 7 watts.. Fortunately, it was easy to correct this: two screws on the sides to remove the top cover and I had access to the calibration pots for the two ranges. Set them to show the 10 watts as indicated on other meters and and now I can use the Astatic when portable. ... show more

  • A must for matching CB to external antenna
Purchased this meter to tune a Midland CB radio with its external antenna. The included instructions were not helpful so I found the following steps after Googling: To Calibrate and Check SWR using the PDC1 meter: 1) Set radio on channel 1 2) Set meter to 10W FWD 3) Set meter to SWR 4) Key microphone and turn calibration dial until meter needle goes over to SET 5) Set meter to 100W REF 6) Record SWR reading 7) Repeat steps 2-6 on channel 40 Be sure to follow the instructions to calibrate the meter. I was able to achieve slightly less than 1.5 SWR on channels 1 and 40. When I test on channel 19, the reading is even lower. The only drawback is that the meter does not include the patch cable needed to connect the CB radio to the meter. They are available on Amazon for less than $10. ... show more
