Mcbazel Surecom SS10 100K-3GHz RF Signal Strength Meter

I used this to test the signal output of about thirty 2meter, 70cm and GMRS antennas over the length of my dining room table, before I tested them using voice at distance. The results of the tests tracked ok but not perfectly, so I think it was a valuable step that could have been used to filter out some really poor performers. I like the meter. It has a gain adjustment that works perfectly and the antenna connector is SMA so it's easy to put on a longer antenna when testing 2 meter equipment.

This meter is the perfect thing for testing antennas. It works great and the price was right too.

Works fine in the truck, can't seem to get a reading with it walking between poles when chasing Impulse from Comm Power. When poles are close together. But driving by, narrowing down the pole is easy with it. Have had it in my work truck for about a month and has been a big help!

This meter is not sensitive enough to pick up a 100 watt signal from a transmitter located in the same room in a dummy load!

This is the UN-amplified version of the meter. It is an absolute must-have, along with things like SWR/power meters. Works great for testing how well your HT/antenna combo transmits. Sometimes it is a more important piece of information than the "SWR" of your HT antenna, which is hard to measure accurately. Also helps to catch situations where an antenna that seems to fit your HT really doesn't (this happens more often than one might think). Conversely, you can attach your HT antenna to this meter and see how well it receives. I dial this meter to about 9 o'clock (partial sensitivity) and transmit from about 6 feet away. The readings are relative, but really help in antenna and HT comparisons.

this meter will not i say not read hf freq for the amateur radio bands... it will work just fine on 2m./440mhz..

works as it is supposed to. it shows relative rf field strength. I have 2 frs radios, one always seemed weak. I transmitted on each radio, adjusted the rf meter to read 50% on the first radio and when I transmitted on the second radio the signal strength was 30%. Both radios transmitted from the same distance away from the rf meter.

This FSM looks and feels nice, and works well. The meter is well damped, so it doesn't slam into the full-scale peg, but it goes back to zero a bit slowly too. The sensitivity adjustment is nice and smooth. The device has a "quality feel" to it. Since originally posting this review, I see many reviews saying that it does not work on HF. Mine DOES work on HF! But the meter's sensitivity depends on the frequency. I see that when using it with my HF antennas. The higher the frequency, the more sensitive the meter is. When I want to see a reading from the lower HF bands, I add some length to the antenna. Just connect a longer piece of wire to the little antenna - an alligator clip helps. Sometimes I connect an outdoor antenna to the meter so that I can pick up the lower band signal from a different antenna. I hope that this will help old and new users of the FSM. Add more antenna for more sensitivity.

Fa quanto promesso.

I am using Field Strength Meters since childhood. All of them were homemade meters built with so so case and crappy meters. I choose this one because the meter was great and I like to have a nice-looking unit. The quality of this meter is very good and it looks like ....A real Field Strength Meter ! The construction is perfect and sturdy. I recommend this tool. Get It

Corrette come da descrizione, inutile per utilizzo pratico

Total garbage
