O.k. I have a stupid little question here maybe some one can help me on. I have got an old SCP SC-2000w swr/watt meter hooked up to my Magnum S-45. My question is "can I use that meter to roughly check the swr on the 2 meter band". Thanks
Quick answer is probably not. If you take the 'normal' precautions though, you could try it and see. Those 'normal' precautions include low power and a dummy load.

O.K. better not try then. This particular meter uses a toroid transformer to obtain its readings. Now I have been told that you could use that particular setup on the vhf band with minimal disruption, of course using a low power rating. I don't; know better not to try then try and be without a meter.
Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
