Some hams say their CQV meter is noisy. Others say it’s clean. Who’s right?
In this video, I break out the TinySA spectrum analyzer and run controlled tests to find out if this meter really leaks RF interference (RFI) into your shack.

• Testing with a dummy load for repeatable results
• Comparing across multiple ham bands (HF, VHF, UHF)
• Examining the impact of power supplies and environment
• Explaining why results may differ for different operators
This isn’t about proving anyone wrong—it’s about showing you how to test your own gear at home.
👉 Want to try this yourself? All you need is a TinySA, a dummy load, and curiosity.
