Hmmm... Gee Bob, now I am worried... there is no needle! ;-)
I acknowledge what Carl said about accuracy and impedance mismatch...
but as nearly all my antennas present a 1:5 or better SWR and are
matched as closely to 50 ohms as possible, and I use very heavy duty
coax on very short runs, I figured I would not see much benefit from a
lab grade instrument - besides, a lab grade meter would also be subject
to the same factors as any other meter placed in the same place under
the same circumstances, right?
Would I really benefit from spending more on the LP-100? That is the
real question. Would it really be worth twice the cost? What would I
do with the more accurate information it provides? Do I really need
more than a close approximation? If so, what would it do for me?

If it moves up scale off of 0 you have WATTS. If it moves further up
scale you have MORE WATTS. Then when the needle stops and just bends
at the top you have TOO MANY WATTS. I think that the way it works.
