Buly,
I'll be buying the PLX SM-AFR & DM-5 Combo (select from this page):
 
Note that some of the widebands require periodic recalibration; this one does not.
 
 
Rusty has experience with wide band meters.  He sent me recommendations a couple of years ago but I've had a computer crash (without adequate backup!!!) since then; maybe he'll jump in here with his experience.
