I just read a great post by MOMSV, where he highlighted a cool case build he just completed for his FT-817. In that post he show his Digital SWR/Watt Meter HF that he uses. I have been contemplating buying a small unit to carry with me in the field - suggestions?
I have a Surecom SW33 which is OK for QRP VHF/UHF.
They do a HF one too - SW28 which looks a little larger but seems to have more features. I don’t have one so don’t know if it’s any good.
I still like my blinky

I have a Surecom SW-102 125mhz-525mhz VHF/UHF which works well for me
Check out DJ9PK’s meters:
SWR/power- Meter, SWR Alarm, PEP- Wattmeter, digital, touch display
These are true PEP reading Watt meters / SWR bridges.
Lovely build quality and considering what they do, a very fair price!

I have been using this device, built from a kit, in the field.
It has been working reliably and repeatably for me.

Thanks - This one looks perfect for me; even has BNC connectors. I just ordered mine!
I use the N6ARA MiniSWR - works great.

There is a simple QRP SWR & PWR meter at Ali for about 20 Euro. It works well and has BNC.

As mentioned above, the Blinky SWR is a good and compact unit.
Just depends on what you mean the “digital”

Running an FT817 for SOTA,I use the vswr meter in the radio.
One less out board gizmo to hang off your radio and cart up hill.
