My eyesight is not so good anymore...I was wondering which meters have larger easier to read numbers?
 

That 1 looks like it would be awesome....thanks.

I would like to sell or trade my Daiwa 801 to get 1.
 
I know how it feels. I can't read my mfj without glasses any more.I find dual meter types a lot easier to read than cross needle or single meter types. My current favorite is a swr-200 oskerblock. It might be 30 years old but it's accurate, built like a tank, and I can read it from 5 ft away with out back light.

is it my eyes???? or is it reading about 1.1VSWR with 0 output wattage! click on the image to enlarge it

the scales don't line up on the left hand side of the meter:blink:

That's a terrible picture of something MFJ is trying to sell! I can't see the positions the switches are in, but with a meter like this you can't read power and SWR at the same time - you'd have to select one or the other.
 
It must be the angle of the camera. Google the meter and look at all the images. Some are off and others are right on like this one.

    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
