Hi Colin,
 
Yes, I am only new to the list, only been on the list for about a month at
the most, although I have been licensed since 1980. Now I am retired hoping
I can get my Station setup better than it was before. 
I want to get more active again. 
 
I purchased a TW2 from www.cheapham.com  there seems to be a few of those
still available from them. I would have liked to been able to get hold of a
TW1, but as usual I hear about these things when its to late and they are
not in production.  As I have the IC7000 and the TW2 does Six and two meters
along with CM70 I was thinking perhaps a good edition to the Shack.
 
So far I have enjoyed the list and hope to maybe have a QSO with other
members. HF antenna improvements  has to be done before that will happen.

hey trevor:
I don't think I've seen you post here before, but hello to you down under.

where did you ordre the talking watt meter from? and presumably you ordered
the LDG tw1?
I ask because it's becoming more and more rare to find the LDG talking
watt/swr meters since they've gone out of production.
