My Array Solutions Power Monitor does all of that too. Except for
creating a smith chart. Which I dont need it do to. I need it to monitor
my RF power output and detect ALC overshoot from a transceiver, which it
does very well.
Oh... it also works better for tuning an amplfier. I have had numerous
LP100s, and LP100As.
I just don't like the hold function design. So I've sold every one that
I have ever owned. I have 3 Power Masters. One of them has a problem
(that I created) that I need to get sent in. So we'll see how their
(Array Solutions) customer service is.
To each their own.
Thanks

That is debatable.
Not if you study the data sheets and specs for both.
The LP100A can read complex impedance at the point of measurement on
the line, so it could be used to find the input Z of a power amp
(using a Smith Chart to account for line length from the coupler to
the amp). It The unit is factory-calibrated to NIST, power accuracy is
5% worst case, 3% typical, at any signal level from 1W to rated power.
It can read peak hold, average, and instantaneous peaks. It can
auto-switch between two couplers on the outputs of my SO2R contesting
station.
