Golly, Jim, I was not calling you a cheerleader. The word
"predilection" only means "tendency to think favorably of something in
particular" so it seemed sorta misplaced to specify what is the best
fit for your needs, within your budget, when I was asking what might fit
MY needs within MY budget! ;-)
I was disappointed you would recommended such an expensive, lab grade
meter, and favor us with an explanation why the W2 meter would not be
suited to the task.
Oh well.. just to follow up, I find the W2 meter is proving an
excellent choice, and is plenty accurate for my needs. I like the
handy SWR alarm/amplifier cut off switch, which should prove an extra
measure of safety with my remote tuner at half the cost of the LP-100.
I like having the best gear, but I doubt if I need a lab grade
instrument just to tell me if the amp and tuner and all are doing OK.
Happy trails. Problem solved. I like my new meter which fits the bill
in my shack, and (almost) met budget.
