Yes, the Hampod only works with Elecraft gear.
I have a couple of K3's here, and it is invaluable.
As Colin mentions, it is also being developed wit the W2 meter.
The interface is RS-232.

Ok, I'm confused, does the Ampod only work with the Elcraft rigs 
or can it be used with any rig? If so, what is the interface? Do 
you have to use a computer or does it just hook up using the coax 
connections? 73, Jim

and one last note, last I heard the elecraft SWR meter apparently 
does work
with the hampod, so for anyone looking for a new and improved 
high quality
swr/power meter, there you go.
It'll even do VHF and maybe UHF if I remember right with the 
appropriate
cupplers.
So, no one can say there isn't an accessible SWR/Power meter 
available on
the market right now.
And, seemingly, the MCount stuff is still around and an MFJ 249 
is easy
enough to locate...so the antenna analyzer thing is taken care of 
as well.

 sorry guys, I get confused between these freq counters, the one 
for the
 MFJ
 is the MCount, not the freq mite.
 Just going over the text file now.  It looks like you need:
 an NE556 dual timer (there has to be modern versions of that 
chip, it's
 not
 special)
 You need a CA3240 op amp
 A temperature stable reference diode LM336 (common like air)
 and that's all the IC's required for the VCO...a few other caps, 
resisters
 and a few transistors along with a calibration pot round out the 
circuit.

 Information about the MCount and obtaining one is found here:
 http://wb9kzy.com/mcount2.htm

 If this was the oh so special chip, it's 3 bucks to buy and 
easily
 available
 apparently.
 They're sold out of the MCount2's, however, I suspect if there 
was
 interest
 they might be had.

 And yes, an MFJ 249 was used as it's very similar to the 209.
 Anyway, this is all well within the reach of most blind hams to 
obtain and
 have built or modified.  No problem.
