Nicely made, but power ranges were not well calibrated
I wanted a small wattmeter and SWR bridge for portable ham operations. This unit arrived quickly and seemed nicely built (especially at the low price). The SWR function was fine, but the two power ranges were both mis-calibrated. Both the 10 and 100 watt ranges showed about 7 watts when being driven with 10 watts. I confirmed this with my Bird 43 and an MFJ ham wattmeter. With all three meters in series, the Bird 43 and the MFJ showed the expected 10 watts, but the Astatic showed 7 watts.. Fortunately, it was easy to correct this: two screws on the sides to remove the top cover and I had access to the calibration pots for the two ranges. Set them to show the 10 watts as indicated on other meters and and now I can use the Astatic when portable.

FOR CB radio ONLY
Unfortunately, I did not read the fine print at the bottom of the description. If I had, I would have seen this is only for CB frequencies. Does not work for HAM bands

Works good.
Works like it should. Allowed me to tune my antenna to 1:1. It doesn't come with a jumper cable so make sure you buy one. I got a one foot which worked but I should've gotten a two foot for the convenience.
