Nissei RS-27 SWR&power meter
Hello, I just got a Nissei RS-27 swr meter and it does not have any calibration means on it. I was wondering if anyone that uses this type of meter has had any issues with the accuracy of the swr readings? Thanks

It self calibrates, many of newer units do this. I have not heard anything bad about this meter.

Re: Nissei RS-27 SWR&power meter
Just hook it up and let her rip, those new little meters don't need a "calibration means", it is self calibrating. If you were to read the instruction and description you would have seen that. Accuracy is +/-10% in the wattage mode and +/-5% in the SWR mode, those spec's are in line with most even more expensive meters. They are good for the 26 to 30mhz range, outside that the accuracy changes.
