Alan:
I could certainly look this up, but can you give us a ballpark cost figure
for the power master 2?
And, am I correct in that you must have a ham pod to work with it?
I'm sorry if this is elementary or has already been covered, but perhaps
I've missed these details in an earlier post.

PMII stands for Power Master II, a very accurate digital power and SWR meter
by Array Solutions. Rob's hampod works beautifully with it. For my money,
they are both must-haves.

Hi, All. I like equipment that can be programmed both by PC's and manually.
Each method has its advantages. For example, I have two radios, both of
which are new to me. Rather than trying to wade through tons of docs to set
them up, it's actually easier to do that through the programming software.
Almost an SDR, but much more accessible.
By the way, what's a PMII? Thanks.--Matt, N1IBB.
