Nice antenna SWR meter. Tested it with multiple radios and antennas. I don't have a second meter but results across antennas are very consistent over multiple radios.
Some of the results are posted in the attached photo.

This power and SWR meter was just what I wanted. I didn't need some fancy expensive instrument to do the tests and SWR checks I wanted to perform. I'm not into borrowing or having someone else do it for me, so, you buy a decent affordable SWR that has good recommendations and reviews and you do it yourself and have the SWR meter for future needs and if you are getting into GMRS, you will be using it again.

HT VHF analog power out with dummy load and with antenna appears to match radio vendor specifications, although I do not have an in-line commercial watt meter to validate. However, on UHF analog (435.000MHz) the device displays an all white (pixelated) screen. See photo. This is consistent across multiple radios, power (3, 5, 10 watts) with native antenna or with the dummy load. Results in an inability to measure UHF power, vswr, and requires the device to be powered off and back on to recover. Returning the device.

SWR readings were not stable after first 2 uses. I am an amateur radio enthusiast in both HAM and GMRS. I own several radios in both of these categories. After checking, four of my handheld radios for wattage and then SWR readings I shut the unit down. The next day I connected a new mobile antenna and tested it. Each click of the transmit resulted in the SWR reading to climb upwards. It went from 1.07 to 1.96 to 2.02 to 2.06 to 2.10 to 2.24
I can’t trust these readings. I used the radio as per instruction and held the radio as you’re supposed to. In all other photos I just showed the reading after taking my hand off the unit. I’m aware many had great results, sadly that’s wasn’t wasn’t my experience. Thanks for reading my review.

It is looking to be 2% on the positive side. Plenty accurate to find out that I had a bad antenna. It did exactly what I needed it for.

Works great and easy to use

I used this instrument to verify and validate aircraft communication system. For this test the transmitter frequency is 122.8 Mhz. Though the frequency range is below published specs, it worked perfectly. I tested 2 transmitters and two aviation antennas. The bottom antenna worked better than the top antenna.

Made a couple vhf yagis. This is a great little tool to have. I recommend highly.
