Hi;
If you bought the ldg meter I too am not in love with the tones.  If you 
hold in the forward or reflected button you get a tone but it doesn't change 
very much for a fairly significant change in power or swr.I'm glad I'm using 
solid state.

Subject: talking watt meter


We just went out to spend money, which we did.
Pipe tobacco, rib-eye steaks that melt in your mouth, and a talking
watt meter.  All we missed was beer.
Anyway, the meter talks fine, but is their a better way of tuning up
the radio?  rapid beaps that settle down when the swr is flat, but
nothing changing pitch if you have to peek and load an amplifier.  I
am very disappointed, unless I am missing something.
Reading the output speech is far to slow for sweep tube loading.
