Hi Jim,
Thanks. I think you're right. Also, I actually bought a Link 20, which
is sort of two emeters. What you are saying makes perfect sense to me.
I have a rough design, and as each component arrives in the mail, I
refine it. In this case, I haven't received the battery meter yet.
I don't know if I mentioned this, but the Emeter is now being sold at
West Marine as a Link 10. I wonder if they are trying to rebrand it to
avoid confusion with the emeter of scientology.
