Try the Aries 460. Reads up to 500 watts and reads swr's at the same time.

RE S....

If you are looking for a digital readout SWR meter there are ham rigs with built in digital readouts. But I suspect you are looking for an external unit.

Sorry to have to tell you this but with the exception of a home brew project or two in old ham magazines I known of no commercial, digital SWR units.

If you are having problems reading the things, might I suggest you get a standard Double Needle unit with a LARGE meter.

I have a digital swr/power/modulation meter, original list price was 600. Maybe you want to practice with a regular meter!
