Select a product to estimate shipping.The Daiwa CN‐501H is a dependable, economy-series bench SWR and power meter designed for use in HF and VHF device environments. Its compact form factor and cross-needle meter allow simultaneous readings of forward power, reflected power, and SWR, eliminating the need to switch between modes or recalibrate during testing. overing a broad frequency range from 1.8 MHz up to 150 MHz, this meter is extremely versatile — perfect for working with HF transceivers, 6 m setups, or 2 m device systems. It supports three forward power ranges (15 W / 150 W / 1.5 kW) so you can tune high or low-power transmitters. Its power-handling capacity is rated at up to 1.5 kW in the lower HF range (1.8–60 MHz) and 1 kW at 144 MHz, giving it the robustness needed for demanding tasks. One of the standout features is its sensitivity, with the ability to detect SWR at as low as 4 W. The meter’s input and output are both 50-ohm, and it uses SO‐239 connectors, making it compatible with a wide variety of standard amateur-device coax setups. The CN‐501H also includes practical usability features: anti-slip edge guards help the unit stay put on your workbench, and a lamp terminal enables you to power up internal lighting (via 12 V) for better visibility in low-light environments. This meter is ideal for tuning antennas, verifying transmitter output, or troubleshooting SWR, offering a high-performance tool at a reasonable cost. It is part of Daiwa’s well-regarded “economy” series — but don’t let the price fool you: it delivers reliable performance with a build quality that serious hams appreciate.
