Duane:
Does your Omni have a 20 watt mark on the meter? Mine is marked at 15
and then again at 25. There's nothing in between these two but space.
With a non linear meter, I wonder just where 20 is in the scope of
things.
Mine is marked in the following sequence at 10 , 15 , 25, a hash mark
(presumed to be 50) and a much larger segment over the 100.
