Good point, Lou. ... Never thought of it that way.
Right now, I'm using the SWR meter that was made a number of years ago by
Remy Simmard out of Quebec, Canada, and, if I had the bucks, I'd snatch a
TW1 and TW2 up right now. ... But, since I just ordered the TS480, I'm going
to have to let the budget recover from that purchase first.
Anyway, it's sure a shame that they're discontinuing those units, because so
many have benefitted so greatly from them so far.
