The Daiwa CN-460M is a small cross-needle meter displays both forward and reflected power for 2m and 70cm.
It measures in ranges of 15/150 watts forward and 5/50 watts reflected. SO-239 jacks.
It includes a mobile mounting bracket and meter illumination option if you connect the power cable.
I believe it was new in the early 1990’s but all reviews I’ve read say they are still happy with it today.
The user manual shows they brought out similar models including the CN-410 CN-412 CN-460 CN-465 CN-490.
Using it is really easy. Have a look at the video below where I show how to test an antenna.
