General Notes

Note

QST, Feb 1978, p. 155. A power/SWR meter with a claimed SWR accuracy 100 times better than typical meters. The CPI Model WM-7000 uses a 30 dB directional coupler which provides accurate SWR readings to a ratio of 1.1:1. Most other SWR bridges use 10 dB directional couplers, accurately reading to only 2.0:1, and even some of the more expensive meters only use 20 dB direction couplers. The unit reads peak or average power. The 3-1/2-inch meter allows easy reading on three scales: 20, 200, and 1000 watts. The unit covers the 1.8–30 MHz frequency range.
