Mini SWR Meter for Magloop Antenna MC-20 Tuning (review)

[@Dr-T]

Interesting SWR meter Paul . Thanks for your review. As a QRP operator I always worry about losing any of my power to SWR meters and this one relies on your RF power to illuminate the LEDs. I know the power required is not much but my preference for QRP meters is to use the 'Bridge type' SWR meter that can be switched out of circuit once resonance has been achieved. 73 Bruce G4ABX

It's only using the reflected power so very little to no loss

I would open it and try to reduce resistor values to give it a 1 -10W range. Would also be nice to fit the correct connectors. I'll buy one and try it.

hi, can you share the schematic of the mini swr bridge?

[@leopoldoalvarez6787]

Dear Poul..., if you dummy load is variable, like 50, 100, 150 ohm.., for 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 respectively, you can be more confident for the readers and performance for the new test set... but look like promising.., thanks YV6ENB

De acuerdo. Saludos Leopoldo de 2w0yvy

[@ralph9987]

I would like to see 100w through it

Good review, thank you!

Jedna maličkost mi tam přece jen chyběla. Měl jste oba SWR metry zapojit v opačném pořadí aby bylo vidět jaký útlum má ten LEDkový. Jelikož VF energie rozsvěcuje LED jistě to nebude úplně zanedbatelné.

Or. You could get a n6ara tinyswr meter. Ham radio tube channel - n6ara tinyswr meter build

Any idea how to get this working on QRP power? Would be a nice addition to the G106 and other QRP radios below 5 watts

[@klounader]

Is there one on VHF/UHF?

[@MrKeys57]

Seems nice!

[@ray2e0vls]

good point thanks

[@philippehaake6123]

Hello , nice review. Is there any option to get it with bnc instead of PL? 73 qro and Happy New Year to you. HB9GUR Phil

[@OM0ET]

Thanks! I don't think so. I have used BNC adapters

Thank you Paul for the presentation. Best Regards from Germany Bavaria. 73/55 Rolf on CB 11 meters 13CB 👋 👋

I have that same meter, and it beeps as well (periodically)

[@rigfios]

Show! Extremo portabilidade❤

[@saltydawg8988]

How does it measure 100% correct when your other meter shows 1.3 swr, and this one shows 1.0? That cant be right

[@Mike500912]

I guess you could swap the LEDs for the extra bright versions ???
