It's around 500 watts above 2 (or 3 -- don't remember) MHz.

Re: [Elecraft] Interesting meter

[Drew AF2Z]

Oh, I don't have any experience with that monster, but I believe the swr 
balance is tuned as follows:


There are several SWR meter switch positions on the panel, say 10:1, 
5:1, and 2:1. In the 10:1 position if the SWR is less than 10 the meter 
will be in the green; if more than 10 it will be in the red. Once you 
get it into the green you'd switch to the 5:1 position and again tune 
for the green; then the same in the 2:1 position for minimum green 
reading. Whew!


(Personally, I prefer to leave my own manual SWR meter on Reflected 
Power. If there are less than a few watts reflected then good enough for 
govt work, haha... No switching, calibrating, etc.)

Re: [Elecraft] Interesting meter

[Dave Sublette]

I was an ET in the navy.  We had a week of school on that rig.  The drawers 
were on rollers and rolled out for maintenance, then tilted so you could get to 
the bottom.  You had to reach back along the sides and press a release to get 
the drawer to tilt for maintenance.  The only trouble was, the High Voltage was 
on a terminal strip next to the button.  Woe be unto you if your fingers 
extended too far under the chassis!!

If the needle centered is 1:1, then 1:4 (.25) is to the left of center and 4:1

[Elecraft] Interesting meter

Hi all,

I figured maybe one of you was, um, experienced enough to recognize this 
meter and let me know what piece of equipment it came from.  I found it 
in a cache of old broadcast equipment, so it is possible it was part of 
an old carrier current transmitter or some other such thing.  This is
