Where to buy an RF meter (check power output)

[surfbird]

Hello!

I'm looking for an RF-meter to verify my output from the controller (and VTX).
This one seems to be sold out:

RF Power Meter v2 – ImmersionRC Limited

www.immersionrc.com

Is there any tool that can be used for this?
Thanks!

Ok.
Do you know any specific that works like the one in my first post.
I don't have the knowledge to know which one to buy.
Will this one do?

There isn't really much else on the low cost market, but it'll likely come back in stock at some point.
There's this one, seemed to have some decent reviews a couple of years ago but is starting to become hard to get other than aliexpress:

You'd need appropriate attenuators for what you want to measure.

Thank you!
I'm planning to use it with an antenna. I'm going to enable boost mode from software, so I need something to check that.
And check my VTX on my fpv. Couldn't I just connect an antenna and keep it close to tx antenna?


Anyway thanks a lot!

Antenna is fine, you won't want to keep it too close since the max power is -5dBm.
