The Moonraker SWR-300 is a highly accurate, compact, and professional-grade dual-function test meter engineered specifically to measure forward/reflected transmission power and the Standing-Wave Ratio (SWR) of radio equipment operating across the 120 to 500 MHz VHF/UHF spectrum. Designed for bench technicians, radio installers, and amateur radio enthusiasts, this reliable diagnostic tool is an essential asset for verifying the health, tuning efficiency, and electrical condition of any 50-Ohm antenna system and matching transceiver setup.
Capable of monitoring RF power levels ranging from 0.5W up to 150 Watts, the Moonraker SWR-300 provides the precise operational visibility required to protect valuable radio transceivers from damage caused by impedance mismatches. The front panel features a high-visibility analog display meter alongside intuitive mechanical slide switches, allowing users to effortlessly toggle between SWR measurement and Power (PWR) readings, as well as adjusting scale calibration via the integrated rotary dial. Its robust, pocket-sized metal housing isolates internal components from stray RF fields, making it highly suitable for both desktop base station diagnostics and field-service maintenance tasks.
For seamless inline transmission line integration, the SWR-300 is outfitted with two heavy-duty, chassis-mounted SO-239 (UHF Female) connectors, ensuring low insertion loss and a solid mechanical link with standard PL-259 terminated coaxial cables. Weighing only 248 grams and measuring a compact 130 x 60 x 35 mm, this portable test meter fits comfortably in any technical toolkit, providing immediate, battery-free diagnostic capabilities wherever your radio communication fleet deployment takes you.
