Hi Michael,

I don't know yet but it's possible that the meter may have a power peaking
mode. I seriously doubt that you would ever be able to hook up the rig's
meter. This meter is designed to measure power and SWR  by using rectified
voltage from a remote coupler that samples the RF. The main unit only takes
the voltage readings from the coupler and calculates the power and SWR. I'll
know more about the features soon.

Subject: The new talking meter


Hi folks:

This new talking meter that I'm hearing about from this list:
I'm wondering will this tool be the ideal, complete tuning aid?  I'm
insearch of a moderern answer to the Fowle Gimique which I'm currently
having built.  I would like a device which would allow me to tune up a type
of transceiver that requires a key down while adjusting the plate and load
controlls.
Perhaps this new talking meter, which I understand is just on its way for
testing, might have provissions to allow it self to be connected in some
way across the main meter of the rig, at the same time be connected to
measure power out and SWR.
Can someone  shed some light?

Thanks to all & VY 73:
