## Overview

The Daiwa CN-501H HF/VHF Cross-Needle SWR & Power Meter is a versatile, high-performance tool designed for amateur radio pros. Covering a broad 1.8–150 MHz frequency range, it simultaneously displays forward power, reflected power, and SWR with a unique cross-needle design. Supporting power ranges from 15 W to 1.5 kW and featuring rugged SO-239 connectors, it delivers precise, reliable measurements even at low power levels. Built for durability and ease of use, it’s perfect for tuning antennas, verifying transmitter output, and troubleshooting, all at an accessible price point.

## Description

The Daiwa CN‑501H is a dependable, economy-series bench SWR and power meter designed for use in HF and VHF device environments. Its compact form factor and cross-needle meter allow simultaneous readings of forward power, reflected power, and SWR, eliminating the need to switch between modes or recalibrate during testing. overing a broad frequency range from 1.8 MHz up to 150 MHz, this meter is extremely versatile — perfect for working with HF transceivers, 6 m setups, or 2 m device systems. It supports three forward power ranges (15 W / 150 W / 1.5 kW) so you can tune high or low-power transmitters. Its power-handling capacity is rated at up to 1.5 kW in the lower HF range (1.8–60 MHz) and 1 kW at 144 MHz, giving it the robustness needed for demanding tasks. One of the standout features is its sensitivity, with the ability to detect SWR at as low as 4 W. The meter’s input and output are both 50-ohm, and it uses SO‑239 connectors, making it compatible with a wide variety of standard amateur-device coax setups. The CN‑501H also includes practical usability features: anti-slip edge guards help the unit stay put on your workbench, and a lamp terminal enables you to power up internal lighting (via 12 V) for better visibility in low-light environments. This meter is ideal for tuning antennas, verifying transmitter output, or troubleshooting SWR, offering a high-performance tool at a reasonable cost. It is part of Daiwa’s well-regarded “economy” series — but don’t let the price fool you: it delivers reliable performance with a build quality that serious hams appreciate.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good meter
*by G***N on July 21, 2025*

Awsome little meter. Set it up with an ameritron 811 amp. And my ic-7300. Works flawlessly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent quality. Second one purchased.
*by R***R on January 19, 2026*

Excellent quality. This is the second one I've purchased. Worth the price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Powerful tool
*by T***A on November 25, 2025*

This is the best price point I found for a wide range Power/ SWR meter. The instrument is terrific throughout the HF to VHF frequency ranges. No need to switch to a different meter for the VHF range. I've used this device with my low powered (10 Watt) rig as well as my 1 KW powerhouse for HF. The scale ranges are nicely balanced so there is not crunching of ranges at the end of the scales. It makes my antenna SWR measurements a breeze. An internal lamp illuminates the meter for easy reading.
