Hello Steve, remember that a hampod connected to a Power Master II gives you
a lot of info, including a tone for tuning up a tube amp.  One nice feature
of this arrangement is that you don't have to worry about melting a TW-1
like I did several weeks ago when I ran a bit over 4.0 KW thru one, Hi.  I
bought a 10 KW coupler for my Power Master II, so I don't have to worry
about cooking anything.  The TW-1 has a very low threshold for power, and
when you run more goo thru it than you are supposed to, smelly things
happen!

		A few days late, but I'll throw this one out:  How about an
inline 
tuning aid for  adjusting manual tuners or tube amps?   Most of us 
aren't able to dig into the  amp to hook up an oscillator, or whatever. 
   A unit to go in the feedline and  act like a TW-1 with tones for 
getting a low SWR, or  for tuning an amp for   high power would be nice.
