[Amps] PEP Wattmeters

[Larry]

John,

Yeah, that's the sort of thing I'm looking for. That exact circuit is 
not suitable for my application but the concept is close. Marv gave 
enough design details to help.

I have seen this page before but could not find it when I went looking 
for it. Thanks. Now if I had a couple more examples......

73, Larry
