If you are looking for a finished power meter kit, you should check out the LP-100, by fellow elecrafter Larry Phipps. (www.telepostinc.com) It is a very well thought out and attractive unit (neat pld display) with power, swr and vector measurements. I participate in the LP-100 reflector and, from the comments, everyone seems to be quite pleased. I think he is starting another kitting run.

Hey guys, did you see? Three new mini modules are on the order page and their manuals are available for download. - Power meter - AF filter - Stepped attenuator I looked them over and gotta say, I was very disappointed. I had really envisioned a meter in a case that would match my K2. Something with a backlit LCD that would display power and SWR to with 2 digits each (11 watts, SWR 1.2). I had plans to sell my Palstar meter (which won't do QRP well) and get the Elecraft meter but now I'm really having 2nd thoughts about that. The audio filter looks really cool but, again, no case. A power meter and an audio filter to me are not test equipment things, their part of the basic station equipment. They'd get used every time I'm on the air and as such they really should be in a finished case with real silk screen labels and knobs. It's not clear to me that either one could be mounted in a box as the components & connectors may project too tall above the board and could interfere with the pots & LEDs as they try to project through the front of the enclosure. - Keith KD1E - - K2 5411 - ***************************** This communication, including any attachments, is confidential and may be protected by privilege.
