Tom,

I received my TW1 yesterday and it comes with a power cord which has the
proper connector on one end to plug into the TW1 and bare wires on the other
end.  I also ordered and received the AC power adapter which was at
additional cost.

I also downloaded the .pdf file containing the instruction manual from the
manufacturer's web site.  I have done a preliminary test with the AC adapter
to find out how the speech works and it sounds great.  I haven't connected
the unit in line yet because I am out of jumpers. ;)

Hi, folks.

I think I'll be getting my new TW1 today, and I just have a few questions I
want to be clear on before trying to use it.  I know these questions are
elementary, but I just want to be sure I'm on the right track with a few
things:

1.  From the manual, I assume the TW1 is powered only by AC power, using the
recommendedWalwart supply.   Is that correct?  In other words, there's no
provision to use it with batteries?

2.  Would I be able to keep the TW1 in line at all times, rather than having
to connect and re-connect it to take needed measurements?  I believe the
answer is yes, but I just want to be sure.

3.  Finally, can I use the TW1 at the full 100 watts for tuning purposes?
Again, I think the answer here is yes, but I remember the old days of the
Conway tuning aids where if you used 100 watts to tune, all sorts of
interesting things happened, including letting the smoke out of the unit.
(grin)

Thanks for putting up with these questions.  I just want to be sure I start
off on the right foot here.
