Which of the following should be considered when selecting an accessory SWR meter?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: A. The frequency and power level at which the measurements will be made
An SWR meter is designed to work over a certain range of frequencies and power levels. So you should consider the frequency and power level at which the measurements will be made. A meter built for HF may read poorly at UHF, and too much power can damage it.
Tip: Match the meter to your band and your power.
