SWR meter

Hi, I am trying to find a SWR meter for WIFI.
I can not find one for 2.5 GHz.
It also has to measure low power 10 - 1000 mW.

Can anyone give me a hint where to find one?

you'll be lucky, a field strength meter might cover 2.4Ghz but I doubt it

IIRC Dale used to sell them though they are not listed on the site anymore

Hopefully he will be able to help with this as he comes to these forums quite often.

Hi there, these guys here have one Praxsym: Practical Systems Engineering The PM2458. It covers the 2.4 GHz, 5.3 GHz, and 5.8 GHz bands and is around $1400USD. I looked around quite a bit to try and fined one cheaper but could not. After that there is only very expensive Fluke or comparable models for about $7000 NZD and up. I did list the PM-2458 on our website but had no interest.
As 2.5GHz in not part of the Wifi standard you would probably have to get a general SWR meter. I would be interested as well if anyone finds a good portable unit that is easy to use on the field. I could still get the PM-2458 if anyone is interested.
Cheers, Dale
