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 Yahoo!
