    Fly under the radar :biggrin_2556: what does that have to do with how well a SWR meter works ? As for the law they are illegal because they cover CB.

    A LEGAL Magumn 257 AKA HTX-10

    While it may be small and built on a ferrite core it is precisely a dual directional coupler designed to measure SWR. It is similar to a microstripline but dimensionally compressed.

    "Resistive Wheatstone bridges do not measure Standing Wave Ratio, they measure impedance difference from 50Ω. This is NOT the same as tuning (finding resonance)."

    Quoted from the link below which is theoretically correct.
