Richard:

I don't have a P2000.  All I have is the straight talking SWR meter from
Remy Simard.  It does give me an SWR reading, and I can make it read
approximate output power as well.

I am hoping that, between the meter, and adjusting the antenna itself with
the screw-driver control, I'll be able to work out a tuning system.

If not, I may have to look for a P2000, or maybe one of those new LDG watt
meters, although I won't have the bucks for one for a while.
