>wanted their VFD watt meter. They have a three week or better waiting time.
Count your blessings. In the corporate telecommunications world, nothing is
in stock or inventoried...and I mean nothing. Every piece of equipment or
component that I project manage is 6 - 10 weeks after receipt of order. The
manufacturers want nothing on their inventory ledger, for it may show a
weakness in their financial ratio reporting. JIT inventory is the goal.
Regarding the VFD: I could never justify its price, despite its alleged
accuracy. For several hundred dollars, I expect a display in metal case with
a nice fit and finish...not a plastic project case. Instead, I use Bird
ThruLine components. For me, four elements cover all my HF and VHF
operating habits.
