it is an awesome little meter for sure.
I have a funny feeling that if not LDG, someone will come out with a similar
product that has the full visual indicators as well, and then they can
charge tripple for it.
at any rate, I have only one small complaint about the tw1, and that is the
rear panel.  It seems to be mounted with a couple screws at the bottom of
the panel, and that's all.  So, if you are using coax that doesn't have very
much flex in it, the rear panel actualy moves back and forth as you either
try to put the connecters on or you move the meter around.
Its probably easy enough to  modify it and put another couple screws in to
strengthen the back panel.
Other then that one small issue, the meter is rugged enough for mobile use
as well.
And, without a sensative display window on the front, you can probably knock
it around a fair bit without worry.
I made up a small battery pack made out of 8double A batteries and used the
supplied pig tail for a portible power supply.
