PALSTAR PM5K Digital Watt Meter

Price: $495.00

The word is spreading about Palstar's unique, high-end amateur radio products. Carrying on in the Palstar tradition for products of the highest quality designed by Hams for Hams, the PM5K Watt Meter is no exception.



The PM5K represents a breakthrough in features for measurement of the performance of your transmitting system. Microprocessor control insures fast capture time and low power consumption. With the ability to monitor your VSWR and power levels at all times, you will know that your transmitter, Rf source and load, or antenna systems are operating effectively and safely. In additions, the power and VSWR relay alarms can quickly shut down your power amplifier system and alert you to the alarm condition. This places an additional layer of protection in your transmitting system to help preserve expensive tubes and finals.
