I've searched this forum and googled the 'net' in general and can't seem to find a solid answer re: which SWR meter is appropriate for use in testing my antenna installation.
Some folks say the standard Radio Shack meters will work fine and others say that most of the RS stuff is designed for CB radios which don't operate in the aircraft 108-136Mhz band. Others have suggested that anything that'll work for the 2 meter Ham band (up to 144Mhz, I think) will work for our aircraft radios.
If anyone can point me to something that'll work, I'm in the market for a SWR testing meter. As a bonus feature, it'd also be nice if the meter could tell me how many watts I'm putting out. There's a chance I may have damaged my radio and I'd like to confirm output...
Thanks in advance if anyone can help.
