MFJ-828 Digital SWR Watt Frequency Counter HF / CB Meter Overview

[@BlackHamRadioUniversity]

In the 5:50 mark of this video, the digital side says the forwarding power is 8.4 but the analog says the forwarding power is 75 according to the analog needle. Why such a huge difference of inaccuracy?

Nice demo. Thanks, Barry

[@roger552fl5]

I have one and I love it

[@fordbroncodave]

definitely a neat meter. resembles the mfj antenna analyzer

Made in the USA is always a plus. Hopefully it still is.

I need a digital meter to turn down and set up some radios to run amps I feel better with exact numbers so I dont blow small amps like RM KL203P .

[@colinminford8393]

is there any video that shows how to calibrate it properly i follow the instruction book and get it set then i come back and its off again can anyone help please?

This unit sims have good futures

A friend of mine order 2 meters from mfj their quality control is out doing though and is not very good he had to return to me already due to poor quality control

[@raguspag55]

Dumb question but how do you connect it to a radio that does not have a digital frequency meter like an MFJ-9420 or MFJ-9440 . These radios do not have a digital reading. Could you use this to see what frequency you are on?

[@martyhill5882]

with that much money there should be a adaptor ? to match the meter to plug into ac

[@stevenstockman6894]

Do you have to connect the ground up and would you connect the 2

lmfao!!!!

[@rachelbradbury7804]

Ha! You lads need to listen to GB3CB near Birmingham. The MARS 19 A COPY CB Club has taken over a once respected Midland Amateur Radio Society. M6 and the 2E0s are playing with their CB chatter. Talking bollocks. M6s teaching others to get their buddies through the exam to become M6s. One group was using the GB3BM repeater to run his business, getting his staff through the Novice exam, giving them Baofeng handies so they can report back to base using the repeater. One got his licence revoked, but is still working HF and sometimes heard on VHF / UHF. In six weeks I only heard him use a call sign once. Then he writs an Email to K6XIQ SCOTT M FARTHING accusing others of blocking nodes, without a shred of evidence. Then the guy makes death threats toward those he accused. His brain cell had obviously sustained some sort of damage? He is barely literate yet a committee member of the new CB controlled club. I wonder if 2E0CLI would still like to kill me and the 8 others he threatened to kill.

cheap! dont buy!

[@marknancylacy1981]

They are very inaccurate!

[@bigdEnergy666]

Proof?

[@dobermanguy9437]

@@bigdEnergy666 you have to remember something sir these meters are not 100% accurate they're just basically giving you a reference if you want a real accurate meter you're going to pay big big big bucks and I was told this by a CB technician who's been fixing radios for 40 years that's enough proof for me these meters can be inaccurate by 20 or 30%

[@bigdEnergy666]

@@dobermanguy9437 wrong, even that fake tech's turd meter is +/- 8% Did your fake tech tell you that the only way to truly measure rf output is with a calibrated oscilloscope?
