Hi Mike, KB8ZGL
Any SWR meter has a directional coupler inside that pass DC so you can can feed DC power throught it safely like into a coax cable.

Installing my new UHF/VHF SSB preamps tonight. I have FT-847 to send 12VDC to them. I currently have an SWR meter between the 847 and the preamps. Can I feed power through the SWR meter safely? The SWR meter is an SX-1000 by Diamond.
Thanks, Mike kb8zgl _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member? Join now to support the amateur satellite program! Subscription settings: http://amsat.org/mailman/listinfo/amsat-bb
