Astatic (302-PDC2) SWR/RF/Field Strength Test Meter

Q: What is true frequency range. There are two different ranges listed. One shows HF and VHF and the other shows HF only?

I have used this meter for my Ham radio on the HF bands (160 thru 10 meters). It might work on the VHF bands but would be very inaccurate. It will read field strength on 2 meters, as it has registered on the meter using my 2 meter HT. Hope this helps. For the price it is usable, but the accuracy is not great. If used to tune an antenna to minimum VSWR it will work, but the power out it reads will not be that accurate.

Q: Does the transmitter need to be connected to the meter for the fwd/ref switches to work?

Yes. Connect the meter in line with the transmitter and the antenna.

Q: What is the purpose of and how do you use the small antenna that comes with the unit? There is nothing in the instruction sheet concerning it.

For using the Field Strength Meter:1. Detach all coax cables2. Attach the little antenna on the side of meter (facing up)3. Field strength will be read on SWR meter.4. Key mic and talk into mic to modulate signal.5. The closer the meter is to the antenna the higher the field strength reading.You can find more online about how to move around the antenna at the same distance for each measurement, and plotting the field strength changes, so that you can tell which direction is sending the strongest signal.
