METROPWR FX773 is a modern, fully digital vector SWR and wattmeter. It has a very modern and compact design with very high performance. Inside there is a very fast 32-bit processor with a coprocessor to perform all measurements in real time, such as Power (AVG, PeP, dBm), SWR, R, Z, X, % Mod and others. It also has a fast external bus to which many accessories can be connected.
The photo shows some examples of how to connect accessories. The Metropwr Fx773 can operate with 4 antennas and 4 transceivers; through the menu, it is possible to cross-connect each radio with one of the 4 antennas and vice versa. The potential, scalability, and expandability are enormous, calling it just a wattmeter is very reductive.
It has a very fast and responsive 5" touch LCD display, 10 front LEDs which indicate:
- Measurement errors
- High SWR alarm
- RX/TX/St.bye
- ADC/ACT Monitor
- USB PC RX/TX
- I2C Bus Control
