Larry,
I have to admit, I for one am very impressed by the thought and
ingenuity that went into this product; as a single instrument, it
accurately covers a very wide range and could prove a fine thing, so I
am planning to buy one.
The down sides in my opinion.
Much of my QRP operations are portable, and occasionally even back-pack
portable.
I manage fine without a watt meter in either case, but would find it
interesting to have access to if it were light enough and small enough,
given all the other gear I like to have along (I admit to excess here,
but QRP rig aside, I like spare power, more than one antenna tuner (so
far, I find different ones to work better with some of the odd
opportunistic antennas I put up), a key-paddle with enough heft to stay
put, a logbook, sometimes a laptop computer and associated stuff to do
psk-31, and so on.
So I run the range between backpacking and car camping. Depending on
which end of that range, it would make sense or not for me.
Congratulations on a fine new product.
73 de W5SV, Dave

Thanks especially to Eric who offered words of encouragement... a real
gentleman.
