Golly Jim, given your predilection for E-brand gear, I am surprised you don't tout the Elecraft W2 meter. Why did you pass it over, in favor of the LP-100? The W2 seems like a lot of meter, including an amplifier protection alarm circuit, for half the cost of the LP-100. is the L_100 that much better?

(PS - I have met Larry from Telepost multiple times, and he is from the beautiful state of Michigan, a capital fellow with good stuff.)

That only matters if you're a cheerleader. If you're an objective
observer, and want the best bang for the buck on a really good
wattmeter, look at N8LP's LP100A. Elecraft uses them on the production
line to test their radios. I've got an order in for his new one, the
LP-500, which can display the output of four SWR couplers. The LP100A
has been around for years, and is a mature product. The LP500 has not
yet shipped.

Note that there's a link at the bottom of his home page to N4PY Software.
