Hello Fred.  Nice hearing from you.  Yes I know, they are wonderful units 
and I would
think they would be cheaper and easier to build than the talking type and 
the speed slows down to anyones speed.  I would not sell mine for any price 
or if so I would be right back building my own equipment for that job and 
I'm tired of building test gear and such things which I did for 40 years on 
the job  and I'm getting lazy.  I really don't like to solder any longer, 
getting to damned old and crotchety Besides things are getting smaller.  hi 
hi.  c u fred

Ed, I am using two of those meters now and I wouldn't part with either one
of them.  A ham radio repairman once told me the meters were fairly
accurate and simple to repair.  I also have an LDG TW1 meter but I don't
like it to much.

Subject: S W R-Power meters

Ron, I have a meter built by RF Applications, P 2000 C W which reads s w r,
forward power and peak power.  Also it sends the letter V if the s w r gets
up to 3 to 1 to alert you if something goes wrong and this is adjustable.
by holding one of the buttons on the control unit it sends dits in C W and
as you adjust your tuner, the closer you get to 1 to 1 the dits get closer
together and then the tone is steady when resonant.  The reading are all in
c w and the speed is adjustable from very slow, like 5 w p m to probably 50
or more.  If you Google the company it says the product, info  was acquired
by Array Solutions but they are out of production.  You might try calling
them, I hear they are helphful. I love this meter. 73 ED     K7UC
