Review MFJ Swr Wattmeter

The MFJ-818 SWR/Wattmeter is a versatile and essential tool for any amateur radio operator. This device is designed to provide accurate and reliable readings, making it an indispensable part of any radio setup.

The MFJ-818 SWR/Wattmeter is a dual-function device, serving both as a SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) meter and a wattmeter. The SWR function allows you to monitor the efficiency of your antenna and transmission line, ensuring that you're getting the most out of your radio setup. The wattmeter, on the other hand, measures the power output of your radio, providing valuable information about your transmitter's performance.

The MFJ-818 SWR/Wattmeter features a large, easy-to-read LCD display that shows both SWR and power output readings. The SWR reading is displayed in decimal form, allowing for precise tuning, while the power output reading is shown in both watts and decibels. The device also has a peak hold function, which allows you to capture and display the maximum power output or SWR reading during a transmission.

The MFJ-818 SWR/Wattmeter is designed to be easy to use. It has a simple, intuitive interface with just a few buttons, making it simple to switch between SWR and power output modes, and to access the peak hold function. The device also has a built-in speaker that provides audible feedback, making it easy to monitor your readings even when your eyes are elsewhere.

The MFJ-818 SWR/Wattmeter is built to last. It has a rugged, waterproof case that can withstand the rigors of outdoor use, and it runs on a single 9V battery, making it easy to take with you on the go. The device also has a built-in low battery indicator, so you'll never be caught off guard.

In conclusion, the MFJ-818 SWR/Wattmeter is a must-have tool for any amateur radio operator. Its dual-function design, large, easy-to-read display, and simple interface make it easy to use, while its rugged construction and long battery life make it a reliable and durable companion. Whether you're a seasoned radio operator or just starting out, the MFJ-818 SWR/Wattmeter is an indispensable tool for optimizing your radio setup and ensuring that you're getting the most out of your transmissions.

1. Dual Functionality: The MFJ-818 is a combined SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) and Wattmeter, which can save you money by buying two separate devices.

2. Easy to Use: It features an easy-to-read LCD display and simple controls, making it easy for beginners to use.

3. Wide Frequency Range: The MFJ-818 covers a wide frequency range of 1.8 to 300 MHz, making it suitable for various amateur radio bands.

4. Rugged Design: The device is built to withstand harsh conditions, making it a reliable choice for field use.

1. Limited Accuracy: Some users have reported that the MFJ-818 may not be as accurate as more expensive models, especially at higher power levels.

2. Lack of Antenna Tuner: The MFJ-818 does not include an antenna tuner, which might be a disadvantage for some users.

3. No Digital Interface: It does not have a digital interface, so you cannot connect it to a computer for data logging or other purposes.

The MFJ-818 is a decent choice for beginners or hobbyists who want a reliable and easy-to-use SWR/Wattmeter that covers a wide frequency range. Its rugged design and dual functionality make it a good value for the price. However, if you require high accuracy or need an antenna tuner, you might want to consider more expensive models.

If you're just starting out in the world of amateur radio and want a reliable SWR/Wattmeter with a reasonable price, the MFJ-818 is a good choice. However, if you require higher accuracy or an antenna tuner, you should consider spending more on a more advanced model.
