AV-1000

HF/VHF/UHF + 23cm band
RF power and SWR meter

NOW $349 AUD
In stock!

See our Diamond meters, too!

Covers 1.8-160MHz, 430-450MHz (amateur), 800-930MHz and 1240-1300MHz (23cm amateur) bands.

Has 2 x SO-239 sockets for the 1.8~160MHz HF/VHF range (rear panel switch position B1).

Has 2 x N-sockets only for all three UHF bands, i.e. 430-450MHz (rear switch position B2), 800-930MHz (rear switch position B3) and 1240-1300MHz (rear switch position B4).

Please note that although the
AV-1000 broadly covers from 430 to 1300Mhz, it has reduced RF power measurement accuracy outside the 430MHz (70cm) and 1240MHz (23cm) amateur radio bands. SWR indications on 23cm are inaccurate!

Rated to 200W CW/400W p.e.p. SSB. Has 3 x RF CW power ranges; 5W/20W/200W (400W p.e.p. SSB expansion switch on 200W range).

Indicates peak or average RF power
 

Please note that amateur radio type RF wattmeters do not necessarily display p.e.p. (peak envelope power) to very high levels of accuracy.
Please consider purchasing a commercial radio RF wattmeter which has a specially designed and calibrated internal amplifier that displays p.e.p. to a very high level of accuracy. These wattmeters are known as true-peak reading commercial radio RF wattmeters. Some brands of such wattmeters are; Coaxial Dynamics, Bird, Telewave, etc.
Yes, we do sell commercial radio grade RF wattmeters!  

Please note;
M socket is the same as a SO-239 socket and a UHF socket.
N socket is a combination of a BNC socket and a SO-239 socket, whereby the outer body is based on a SO-239 (for strength) and the inner portion is based on a BNC socket (to maintain low loss at UHF & higher frequencies).
