Alan, Does that meter talk or have some audio feedback?  If it don't do 
something for the blind then what good is it to this gang.  Also if you must 
use a computer with it, that sucks too in my book.

For my money, the best SWR and power meter is the Array Solutions Power
Master II.  It ain't cheap, but boy is it accurate.

Ed, I am using two of those meters now and I wouldn't part with either one
of them.  A ham radio repairman once told me the meters were fairly
accurate and simple to repair.  I also have an LDG TW1 meter but I don't
like it to much.

Subject: S W R-Power meters

Ron, I have a meter built by RF Applications, P 2000 C W which reads s w r,
forward power and peak power.  Also it sends the letter V if the s w r gets
up to 3 to 1 to alert you if something goes wrong and this is adjustable.
by holding one of the buttons on the control unit it sends dits in C W and
as you adjust your tuner, the closer you get to 1 to 1 the dits get closer
together and then the tone is steady when resonant.  The reading are all in
c w and the speed is adjustable from very slow, like 5 w p m to probably 50
or more.  If you Google the company it says the product, info  was acquired
by Array Solutions but they are out of production.  You might try calling
them, I hear they are helphful. I love this meter. 73 ED     K7UC
