Hi All, This is a good thing to consider whether it's for preamps or anything else such as a tower-mounted remote co-ax switch. I had one meter, think it was an MFJ-815, that did not have a DC path through it. My co-ax switch didn't work anymore ! Had to peddle the meter and put in another, then everything was OK again.

Usually but remember that many SWR meters introduce more loss than they are trying to measure so you might be better off removing it.

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.
