The SWR Meter Shootout: Are Your Readings Lying to You?

Are you suffering from SWR Derangement Syndrome?
Most hams obsess over the numbers… but what if the problem isn’t your antenna at all? In this video, I put multiple SWR meters head-to-head to reveal just how different the readings can be — and what that really means for your station.

Devices Under Test:
👉 CQV Meter: https://geni.us/OSEK2jg
👉 Nissei Meter: https://geni.us/ZKuIme
👉 Celwave Dummy Load: https://geni.us/YlnRyc
👉 100w Round Dummy Load: https://geni.us/eTZ18Uh
👉 10w SMA Dummy Load: https://geni.us/U733N
👉 Screwdriver Set: https://geni.us/OilK

📡 You’ll learn:
• Why your built-in SWR meter might not tell the whole truth
• The hidden differences between MFJ, Nisei, and IntelliTron meters
• How much reflected power really matters for your signal
• The simple way to know if your radio is happy at 50 ohms

If you thought “low SWR = everything’s perfect,” this video will change the way you see your shack.
