Ham Radio Reviews - SWR &
Watt meters (Power/swr meters)
Mfg and model # = Transel 559/54 (Model #
uncertain)
Name = Don, Gun Barrel City, TX
Call =
N4UJW
Category type = SWR & Watt meters (Power/swr meters)
single or combos, all bands.
Rating = 5 Excellent
Time owned =
At least 30 years!
Purchased new or used? = New
Comments = This is an swr/power meter that I purchased many
years ago new, made by the Transel Corporation for use on the 11
meter band but covers the entire hf ham band spectrum.
Covers
20/200/2000 watts in 3 meter ranges and has average and peak
readings.
It also has a handy "percentage of reflected power"
scale along with the standard swr ratio.
I must admit I have
tortured this meter over the years!
I have pegged (literally
banged) the analog meter movement in it to the peg many times with
no damage.
It seems to be very rugged and well designed and
has stood by me without failure for all these years.
If you can
find one on the used market, I would certainly recommend that you
get it.
Although I don't know how accurate it is, seems to be
well within expected limitations of a meter designed over 30 years
ago.

| Comments about the equipment in your own
words*: |
It is a very good meter. Aginst a bird it
is dead on up to 1500 watts. I like the slow but sure needle
movement instead of the instant herky jerky movement of most
other meters. I would buy it again but you can't have
mine!! |
