U20571 Used Daiwa CN-801 Cross Needle SWR & Power Meter 1.8-200MHz 2kW

U20571 Used Daiwa CN-801 Cross Needle SWR & Power Meter 1.8-200MHz 2kW

This pre-owned Daiwa CN-801HP cross-needle SWR and power meter is in great overall condition, showing only minor cosmetic scuffs and light rub marks on the dark blue-gray casing from normal bench use. The large, illuminated cross-needle meter movement is clean, clear, and scratch-free, with both the Forward and Reflected indicator needles resting squarely on zero. The front push-button power range selectors (20W / 200W / 2 kW) and the AVG / PEP function switch operate as they should. On the rear panel, the SO-239 RF Input (TR) and Output (ANT) connectors are tight with clean threads, and the light on/off slide switch alongside the 13.8V DC power socket are intact and undamaged. 

The Daiwa CN-801HP is a bench-standard cross-needle RF wattmeter engineered for accurate monitoring of amateur radio stations across the HF through 2-meter VHF spectrum (1.8 to 200 MHz). Daiwa’s signature cross-needle design allows operators to read Forward Power, Reflected Power, and SWR simultaneously at the exact crossing point of the two needles—completely eliminating the need for manual SWR calibration or sensitivity knob adjustments. Designed to handle high-power legal-limit transmitters, the HP version provides three switchable forward power ranges of 20 Watts, 200 Watts, and 2,000 Watts (2 kW). When connected to an external 13.8V DC power source, the meter supports both meter face illumination and active PEP peak-reading mode, making it an essential diagnostic and operating tool for monitoring SSB voice peaks, digital modes, and CW keying.

Condition

• Cosmetic Condition: Great pre-owned condition overall, exhibiting minor scuffs on the housing consistent with routine benchtop handling.

• Meter Movement & Lens: Large acrylic viewing window is clear and undamaged; 

• Switches & Selectors: Front range selectors (20W / 200W / 2kW) and AVG/PEP selector operate smoothly.

Key Features

• Simultaneous Cross-Needle Metering: Instantly displays Forward Power, Reflected Power, and resultant SWR at the intersection of the two needles without manual zeroing.

• Broad Frequency Coverage: Operates across 1.8 MHz to 200 MHz, covering all HF amateur bands, 6 meters, and 2 meters VHF.

• High Power Capability (HP Type): Features three selectable forward power ranges: 20W, 200W, and 2 kW (2000 Watts).

• True PEP & Average Modes: Selectable between Average power and Peak Envelope Power (PEP) for precise SSB speech peak monitoring.

• Rear Light Switch & DC Power: Powered by standard 13.8V DC for meter illumination and PEP detector circuitry.

• Rugged Steel Desktop Enclosure: Durable metal housing designed to shield sensitive internal directional coupler circuitry from stray RF fields.

What's Included

• Daiwa CN-801HP Cross-Needle SWR & Power Meter Console (Note: Power Cord NOT Included)
