Why spend the money? Just wrote a macro that, when called, says
something like "75 watts forward, 1 watt reflected" Then you can say,
"see it's all in your head".
I knew a guy years ago that ran a repeater who's users wanted an
autopatch on the repeater. He rigged up a macro that sent a dial tone,
followed by a busy signal when accessed. The users never knew the
difference! Just an idea... 73 :-) Mike KA4MKG
