My PowerMaster tracks very nicely down to 2.5 watts (within a few percent of my TekTronics TDS-2022). 2.5 watts is the lowest power I can get out of the IC-706MKII that I'm using for a source. Somewhere around here I have a power 6dB attenuator. If I can find that, I'll look at lower powers. The PowerMaster does stop computing SWR when you get below 4.5 watts though. So I would definately not consider it a QRP SWR meter. The PowerMaster does have diode drop compensation (I got a chance to look at the schematic).
