Thanks Alan. The MFJ meter isn't available anymore either.
As to my radio, my station is a mix and match affair. I have four
two-meter transcievers and two TNCs and a tracker. I have cables made
up so that any TNC/Tracker can drive any radio. Sure makes setting up
the correct deviation interesting. That's why I was looking for an
inexpensive meter.
Thanks again,
Jim
