Who makes Workman meters and are they worth a hoot?

[Thestonerguy]

I'm looking for an inexpensive VHF/UHF meter. Saw the Workman meters....don't know if they're any good. Comments?

They work Ok for the price range. As to who makes them not sure.

 

[freecell]

Stonerguy is talking about VHF/UHF not cb wattmeter.

Sorry.

Radio Shack VHF/UHF Meter.

Maybe so, but that is still a nice inexpensive alternative for guys that cant afford those high dollar jobs.

I have a few of those Radio Shack / Micronta meters they are pretty accurate I did a pep mod adding an elctrolitic capacitor that shows the swing on the pep setting maybe the new ones are a little more forgiving now but the ones I have were great on average output readings but pep settings didnt seem right so I did the mod and also did it to my digital radio shack meter that also is pretty accurate. They are well worth the money easy to use and the fact that they will take 2000 watts is nice and at around $30.00 pretty much cant be beat.

Thanks. I remember they used to sell one like the little PDC meter (somewhere around $30), but I didn't think that did any longer. I'll check out the site.

Correct me if I am wrong but I do believe the mfg in question is Euro-CB and Syncron.

The guy who owns the cb shop in Syracuse N.Y. at the cannon truckstop is highly involved with workman.He either is the head tech guy or part owner, not sure but is definatly tied deeply to workman.
