[ARC5] M.C. Jones Micromatch 517B

[Roy Morgan]

ARC-5- folks,

I have unearthed an M.C. Jones Micromatch 517B SWR meter.

It has N connectors and the usual controls:
CALIBRATE
FOR - BACK - CAL - VSWR
and is marked 40 WATTS
Watts scales 0-4 and 0-12
SWR scale 1 to 100

The coupler is just over 3 inches long and has two 1N23B diodes.

I have tried the thing at HF - the needle does not budge
With my 2 meter HT, the needle moves, but barely.

Is this thing meant for UHF?

Does anyone have info on the thing?

Roy
