I plan to buy a Yaesu FT-817ND QRP radio. Will this meter work with a transceiver that produces a maximum of 5 watts?

I just checked this meter with my Corsair at 5-watts, and the meter is sensitive enough to adjust for full scale reading on the SWR SET. It also worked fine with only 1-watt out. Could not get full scale at 0.5-watt. The power readings agree pretty closely with the bar-graph power meter on my LDG AT100Pro. 73, K4AXF Jim

Yes and No. The Yaesu FT-857D is both an HF & V/UHF Transceiver. There are two antennas needed. The Tram 1185 will only work on the VHF/UHF portion of the radio. You will need a much larger antenna for the HF side.

I would think so, since it starts at zero db and reads well above 100 db's. I do not have the meter or its information sheet at home, but I will give you exact info in about a week if you still need more info.

I don't see why not... I would think most radios are less than 90w You'll have to check the radio you want to use

I don't know. I use this for domestic applications only. I bought it because none of my old meters were Catagory 3.

I don't know the answer, but I can recommend the Pyle CO meter I purchased at Amazon. It is excellent value and functions exactly as advertised.

I have the same mont on my truck driver side. It works well. Good SWR readings and great out put power. I use shielded gold plated antenna cable and a Firestik antenna.

I used one for a crystal radio, and in my design report I recorded an LCR meter gave mine a range from 80pf-365pf. Also FYI, Make sure you get a knob! Touching it directly can affect the circuit's Inductance or Capacitance (don't remember which one), which makes fine tuning very frustrating!

I am assuming that you are referring to the TYT 9800 Quad Band Radio. It will operate off of a 13.8 Volt, 12 Amp continuous regulated power supply. Radio Shack has one the is 13.8V 19 Amp which works very well with the unit. The HH-9900 Antenna can be used as a base antenna as long as you have a good ground plane, one guy said he used a large pizza pan. I am using a Radio Shack Discone Antenna 25 - 1,300 MHz with excellent results. The SWRs are nearly flat on the 2 Meter and 70cm Bands.

The minimum required Watts in the specs says 5-7 Watts...Therefore anything less may or may not work! My Sensor unit works as advertised but I use surge strip.

Don't know for that particular model but works with the Baofeng 5R Plus. Works great. I haven't checked it with a SWR meter, but when I replaced the antenna that came with it, with this one, it did increase range on the 2m band.

The UV-5R is FCC Part 90 type accepted. Unless your license specifically states a 1watt max, you are ok to run higher power. Narrow band is a must. Spend another 8 bucks and by the programming cable. Then go to http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home and down load a program that works real well. Good luck, it's an amazing radio.

You will have to purchase the correct programming cable and use a computer to program the transceiver to the radio frequencies you wish to monitor/transmit on. This is a ~400-500MHz UHF only radio and it may not be capable of receiving police transmissions in your area.

The meter will match your long wire, as long as it is not used with more than 100 watts PEP

I'm sorry, I can't answer your question. I had to return mine because it was not compatible with my PSE&G; Smart Meter.

yes you will but you can get a meter cheap from amazon I have one works good

no this meter does not do watts but as a meter its all you need always use amps times volts to get your watts . this meter does more please read man specs if you are in thehvacr ind. this I rec. all Iown
