Surecom SW-102 and the Wouxan KG-UV9GX


ChaosActual

Question

Howdy folks, I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction on some cables & adapters I might need to test my Wouxan KG-UV9GX on the SW-102. I bought some cables from Amazon but the little bastards heads are too big & cannot plug into the SW-102. Any and all help is appreciated.

I'm assuming you mean into the radio.

I think you're looking for something like this.

that one specifically. I’m just lost in the sauce about the connector types.

The connectors on that meter are N-female...it looks like it should have shipped with adapters to convert to so-239 (aka uhf female).  If not, here's a cable that should be what you need to go direct from the meter to your radio: https://www.amazon.com/SDTC-Tech-Coaxial-Extender-Connector/dp/B07NY2VVBZ/

Edit: here is a decent chart of the different connector types https://www.air802.com/connector-identification-chart.html

If you want to see SWR of HT antenna, save your money. It's fool's errand. You can't get any meaningful measurements with SW-102 or any other meter, it is simply not possible. You can test power output into the dummy load, though.
