Opek SWR-3 meter?

Turbo T · Jul 16, 2011

Anyone ever used one? What's your 2 cents on it? OPEK SWR METER

Saw one of these at a hamfest today. The seller said it works on 2 meters and 11 meters. Also said it has the capability of detecting signal strength with a little antenna on the side. All for $20.

Might be good for checking antenna patterns at power of 100 watts or less.

Oh I guess it does swr checks too.

The SWR-5 would meet 11 meter needs better unless you need a field strength meter.

I only purchased this because the ham selling it advised it would work on 2 meters and 10/11 meters. I was buying antennas and such for when i get a 2 meter radio.
