Cross‑needle design displays forward power, reflected power, and SWR simultaneously — no switching modes or recalibration needed Covers a broad 140–525 MHz frequency range, making it ideal for VHF/UHF device testing, antenna tuning, and maintenance Two selectable power ranges (20 W and 200 W) allow accurate measurement for both low-power transceivers and higher-powered amplifiers High sensitivity with SWR detection down to just 4 W, helping you tune antennas even at modest transmit power Built for stability: 50-ohm impedance with SO‑239 input/output connectors, anti-slip edge bumpers, and an LED-lit meter (powered via 12 V DC) The Daiwa CN‑501V is a value-driven, bench-grade SWR and power meter tailored for VHF and UHF bands. Engineered for device amateurs, repeater builders, and RF technicians alike, the CN‑501V combines simplicity, reliable performance, and real-world utility — all in a compact footprint. At its core is a cross‑needle meter that simultaneously displays three critical measurements: forward power, reflected power, and SWR. Unlike meters that require mode switching or separate calibration steps, you can instantly read all three parameters as the two needles cross for SWR. This makes tuning and testing more efficient, particularly during antenna adjustment or performance validation. Covering a frequency range of 140 to 525 MHz, this meter is well-suited for typical VHF/UHF applications such as amateur device, commercial FM, or repeater setups. Its selectable forward power ranges — 20 W and 200 W — provide flexibility to accurately measure both low-output devices and more powerful transmitters without risking meter overload. For accurate SWR measurements, the CN‑501V offers sensitivity down to 4 W. This enables you to perform reliable SWR checks even when you're transmitting at relatively low power. The meter’s input and output ports are matched to 50‑ohm systems using SO‑239 connectors, making it compatible with standard coaxial setups. Durability and practicality are built in: the device features anti-slip edge guards to keep it stable on your workbench, and it’s equipped with a 2.5 mm DC input jack to power the internal LED lighting for the meter — perfect for low-light or dimly lit shack environments. Mechanically, the CN‑501V measures approximately 5″ wide × 3″ high × 4″ deep (about 155 × 80 × 100 mm) and weighs about 1 lb, 8 oz (670 g), making it compact but substantial enough for bench use. Whether you're setting up a new VHF/UHF antenna, adjusting a duplexer, or verifying transmitter output on a repeater system, the Daiwa CN‑501V provides the essential measurements you need, with clarity and accuracy, at a value that won’t break the bank.
