I built the TT Model 1225 SWR/Wattmeter kit, which is specified to
operate between 1.8 and 30 MHz. It works best between 3 and 21 MHz, and
is just OK on 160 and 10 meters. OK, no surprise, that IS a long reach
for a single meter. In spite of the specifications...
Has anyone tried using it on 6 meters (50 MHz)?
If so, how did it work for you?
My example does not work outside the specified range, although I figured
it might be at least somewhat, sorta, kinda, useful as a general
indicator, but that is not the case. So, I am wondering if anyone else
has had a better experience with it under this scenario. If not, I
suppose my Brand X meter will suffice to monitor my 6 meters
transmissions.
A reliable ham recommends the current Daiwa 801 series meters. Does
anyone have a better idea for an inexpensive (defined as costing less
than $200) meter that can measure HF and 6 meters? The Daiwa model
costs around $150, and seems to be the leading contender.
Does anyone think the TT Model 1225 could be modified or adjusted to
measure 6 meter transmission accurately (understanding that might
prevent it from reading lower HF bands correctly) ?
Any other ideas?
