Hey guys im looking for a good cheaper meter that i can take with me and check swr in my vehicles, cuz i dont like to take my dosey meter out. looking at spending no more than $30.00 Are the diesel and astaic brands that are at the truck stop very good, or just junk? Are the Ratshack meters decent? I know im not going to get the best meter for this money, but would like to get something decent. Thanks guys.
 

I'm glad I was able to help don't know alot bout the meter but I've read alot of opinions bout the meter and it is the exclusion to the rule get what you pay for I hope. I'm going to install in my mobile setup I plan to mod it with a bracket and a meter light so we will see.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
