Subject: SWR meters
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Greetings -
I'm curious as to my options on getting an SWR meter. I've
naturally heard much about the Bird meter, but that's a pretty
expensive choice.
I'm interested in feedback on other, less expensive models. My
usage would be primarily for 50 watts or less and 2m/440, although
I do have plans for getting an HF rig in the reasonably near
future. Naturally I looking at the price/performance ratios. I'm
definitely looking for accuracy, but am unwilling to pay several
hundred dollars more if the difference is vanishingly small.
Many thanks for any insights,
73
Steve

The show is anything but religion, you see WWCR also means World Wide
Conspiricy Radio. Anyone want to take a vote on starting an
alt.radio.conspiricy newsgroup for WWCR listeners? C'mon all you Tom
Valentine and Pastor Pete fans, this is for you.

One listen on 14.313 Matt will show you that one's background has nothing to
do with how good an operator or ham he will be. Listen during some of the
DX pile-ups, the majority of the guys that transmit out of band, because
they forget how to run the "split" on their transceiver, have 2by1
callsigns. I know of a number of hams that got their start on CB radio, and
are good hams and legal operators, even though their early days in radio
were not too savory. What Demetre and I ahve been trying to say is, give
the guy a break, he may change and be a perfectly fine ham if someone were
to extend the right hand of fellowship to him and get him squared away. The
problem is that some guys get too vindictive, and and get their Jr. FCC hat
on, and can't see the forest for the trees.
