Review on πŸ“» Mcbazel Surecom SW-33 Plus 100W 125-525 MHz Mini Digital VHF UHF Two-Way Radio Handheld Power and SWR Meter by Mark Greenwood

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not so good, best in CB and radio

At first I thought this was exactly what I'm looking for, but upon closer inspection it turned out "Not so, McGee!" First, the accuracy is 5% (+/-). In any case, a deviation of up to 5% in my accuracy measurements is unacceptable. Also, the battery isn't listed, so who knows what type it is? Again not much! Finally, the dummy load isn't the 10W that the new HTs and walkie-talkies are designed for. Only 5W, which is typical for most portable radios. Why are SWR meters only 5 watts? I want my 10W HT measured on this device. Damn. And I want my accuracy to be turned on or off by 2-3% max. And give me a notional load of at least 15W, preferably more. That's what I want.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • unreliable
