Do you prefer a meter that can be used across all bands (VHF, UHF & HF), or do you separate between VHF/UHF and HF? If you like having meters for specific jobs then MFJ has what you need for VHF/UHF! In this video you will see the MFJ-842 Compact VHF/UHF SWR/Wattmeter, the MFJ-883 MFJ Grandmaster Cross-Needle SWR/Wattmeter and the MFJ-873 MFJ Grandmaster SWR/Power meter. I will show you how each meter works, as well as the inside.
The calibration adjustment that you referenced on the last meter reviewed looks to be a meter pointer mechanical zero screw rather than a calibration potentiometer. I believe the same is true for the dual pointer 2nd meter reviewed. Dual pointers therefore two zero adjustments.
Only watt-meter I will trust is the Bird Thruline Watt-meters. Maybe a bit cumbersome, but very accurate. Been using them for 50 years in the commercial world and never had a problem with accuracy.
Jason is good people. The only reason you haven't seen more videos on here from me is due to being busier than a one legged midget in a butt kicking contest!
Craig, good video, like always. Don't let negative posters bring you down. Keep posting great content that helps others.
I think he writes his own lines.... Perhaps he should hire someone! The week keyboard commandos don't bother me. They are more a source of entertainment. Just thankful I didn't wind up like them. Thanks for watching!
