Does anyone have, or know where I can find, the calibration procedures and schematic for the Aries A-SWR 460?

If you own one of those things you are one lucky person!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The meter calibrates automaticly as for the schematic no idea. 73s

They are hard to come acrost and if you do chances are they want alot for them. Nice meters though!! 8)

Yes, that's 3100 degrees F. Nine yrs of hard work.
Yes they are nice meters to have, especially for a radio repair man.
The 460 that I had would show my 2950dx doing 52 watts and my 2970dx doing 310. So guess what....down the road it went for 30 bucks.

their suppose to auto calibrate? if so then mine doesn't work seems like the swr are way off power is pretty close on dead key. all it really seems to be is eye candy.
Thats interesting! Is aries still in buisness anymore? If they are they should make theese things still and they should be able to answer questions you may have about the meter.
Look inside...I think there are 3 pots, one for power and one for SWR, maybe for different ranges on them.
These meters need to be RF grounded to work properly (i.e. the supply ground needs to be RF grounded as well).
Any piece of measuring equipment is only as accurate as its calibration. I have found the Aries A-SWR 460 meter to function well within its specifications (+/- 5%--same as a Bird), when properly used. You also need to understand how your SWR affects a power measurement.
Now, the difference between accuracy and precision and which to think is more important?
The Aries is a fairly precise meter. Once you calibrate it to an accurate standard, it should read fairly accurately for a long time.
