there are also a whole sloo of VHF and UHf couplers you can get for it.
For 2m ham band, VHF ham plus commercial band, 220 ham band, VHF plus 220
ham and commercial, Ham band UHF and commercial plus ham band UHF.
the couplers are $249 each...except the HF/6M so239 type which are $195 I
think. Just click on the price list link on the main arraysolutions page
and you'll find everything there.
The Power master 2 display unit is $330 and you can buy multiple couplers
for it...not sure how many can actually be used...but anyway, lots of
flexibility with various connecters etc.
If you buy the display unit plus the HF 6M coupler package you get a break
on the price compared to if you were to buy them separately.
Price ain't bad either for a fully featured shack style SWR/power meter
which is accessible using the computer interface.
the elecraft unit plus the ham pod would be in the same ball park.
These can be mounted in a rack as well so it can easily integrate with
existing switches, selecters, audio equipment etc.
