The Comet CMX-400 by Comet Co., Ltd. is a VHF/UHF SWR & Power Meter featuring a cross-needle display that shows Forward Power (FWD), Reflected Power (REF) and SWR simultaneously. It includes an AVG/PEP switch for average power or peak envelope power readings, plus meter illumination powered from an external DC source for clear visibility in any setup.

It’s a solid tool for checking antenna/feedline performance and verifying power on VHF/UHF, with minimal insertion loss thanks to its built-in low-loss sensor design.
