Digital Power & SWR Meter With ALARM Feature! CQV-SWR120

[@gvii]

Even if the battery life were an issue, it would be incredibly simple to replace it with one of a larger capacity. There looks to be plenty of room for a larger battery. Neat little device.

Welcome to the AliExpress electronics showroom channel. Love it!! ☺

[@TechMindsOfficial]

Haha it sometimes feels like that!! There’s so much gear out there that I can’t help buying it, even if it’s just to try and see if it’s good or not! One day I might make a video on all the rubbish I also get, the box is growing! :)

I bought one of these just after watching this... A year on and it is still working fine, accuracy is fine also. On a recent trip I did a few days of Radio, Battery lasted. I'm just about to Buy another to do some In and Out Testing of a HF Linear.

What a nice unit... Small form factor yet huge in features...

[@advocaciamendes]

Thank you very much, for all the informaton and content you made avaliable through this channel.

[@TechMindsOfficial]

You’re very welcome :)

[@MikeG-js1jt]

why didnt you try on SSB?

[@audioassault5599]

Just seen these on ebay. Thanks for the review!

[@TechMindsOfficial]

Youre welcome :-)

[@Bruce_W]

It is both interesting and unusual that labels are printed on both sides of the front and rear panels.

[@TechMindsOfficial]

I thought that myself when I opened it up.

[@j204ever5]

Reading PEP??

[@johnlinebarger2922]

Curious if one can run the meter off of the power supplied by the USB-C and not damage anything.

[@ainttakenanyshit]

From the look inside you can unplug the battery pack and for a permanent install, it would be wise to remove the battery...

[@williampiergiovanni5227]

Very nice and informative video

[@TechMindsOfficial]

Thanks a lot

[@gglee1720]

Curious did ou have any "hash" noise interference caused to the radio receive when the Swr meter is turned on? I have heard another model with the 4" screen has this problem

[@pasjeihobby]

It's usefull and cheap. I had to order it :D Thnx for tip.

[@TechMindsOfficial]

You're welcome 😊

[@donalfinn4205]

Everything but the price of it?

[@Randrew]

I wasn't much impressed by the solder connection of the SO-239s' center pin to the board. The blob on the TX side was kinda stringy and elongated... might not take a lot of jostling in the field to break it. Otherwise I like it! And the price isn't hideous either.

[@jamesyoung8283]

Is it good?

[@abdulrasoulalmansour4499]

Will this swr meter work on 2 Meter band?

[@facebookinger]

how accurate is this? It doesn't do calibrating?

[@JohnFT3414]

Have you reviewed the MicroHam Power Vector Meter yet? It is the best!

[@TechMindsOfficial]

Not yet, I will have to investigate this product. Thanks! :-)

[@gregMD856]

Make one for UHF?

[@MINI-4X4-RADIO]

Afterthought, I wish they did it with BNC Sockets, everything else in my QRP Setup is BNC.

[@tobiaswellnitz5036]

For unknown reason chinese manufacturer like serif fonts on technical devices. Non-Serif fonts would provide better readability and a more harmonized look with the enclosure

[@welshbikepackingadventures]

very cool, 73s

[@HenryCalderonJr]

I just got mine

[@steve87uk]

Would be cool if it cut to a dummy load if you ignored the alarm for too long.

[@Chilangosta]

Yeah that's a thought. Especially if it was just a third connector on the back so you could wire up your own. Mine just arrived today. Tempted to jerry-rig it at some point, maybe off the red LED with like a transistor and relay...

[@scottkuhar]

I just received one of these and for some reason it works fine on FM, but not SSB. Power reads incorrectly (radio set to 50W and meter's power is all over the place, but settles at 1.7W. I have a message in to the Ebay seller, and will update here.

[@AlGritzmacher]

That's how SSB works. The power varies with the modulation. To measure your power use a constant output mode like CW, FM, RTTY, etc.

[@ainttakenanyshit]

@@AlGritzmacher My analog meter does show a needle swing-up when modulating on SSB, but, all I see on AM is basically a carrier reading-with no modulation swing. I thought that AM also would swing the needle with mic input... ??

[@luissegura4114]

Buen día amigo, tengo un equipo igual al de usted, hay una opción que descubrí en el equipo y no se para que es. El equipo lo tengo apagado presionó el botón de alert y enciendo con el botón de encender y sale una opción que dice FWD Fine adjustment y sale +0 aciende hasta +20 de igual deciende hasta - 20. Igual tiene otra opción el equipo apagado presionó la tecla Full y enciendo el equipo y me sale la opción SWR Fine adjustment +0 ascendiendo hasta +20 y desciendo hasta - 20 los parámetros los deje en +0. Me puede ayudar qué significa esta opcion. Gracias
