PMII stands for Power Master II, a very accurate digital power and SWR meter
by Array Solutions. Rob's hampod works beautifully with it. For my money,
they are both must-haves.

Hi, All. I like equipment that can be programmed both by PC's and
manually. Each method has its advantages. For example, I have two
radios, both of which are new to me. Rather than trying to wade
through tons of docs to set them up, it's actually easier to do that
through the programming software. Almost an SDR, but much more accessible.
By the way, what's a PMII? Thanks.--Matt, N1IBB.
