Hi,

Well, I got one and immediately made a fool of my self.  I tried, tested and
played and couldn't get any accurate readings except for 2 meters.  I called
LDG and they were very nice and said you need to do the following!

Front of the unit looks like the tw1.  Volume on the left, then 3 buttons.
Press and hold the first and third buttons to change bands for accuracy.
Default is 2 meters, then it steps through to 220mhz, 440mhz and finally 6
meters.  Let me tell you, it is just too cool to be able to read ones power,
forward vswr and reflected power on these bands without any assistance.

I got mine from HRO but I know Burghardt in South Dakota had some in stock
too.  Ham Radio Outlet had only 2 of them and I got one.

Brian, k5in
