[Amps] Autek Research WM-1 wattmeter

[Jeff Carter]

I am very glad that I am not the only one!

I'm not sure what happened, there, if the guy I talked to is the
designer and just has bad customer service skills, or if somebody
bought the rights to all that old stuff and runs it as a sideline.

I heard somebody on the air on 80m not too long ago say something to
the effect that "hams are weirdos" and I know we've got a few.  Giving
the Autek guy the benefit of the doubt, maybe he got one too many of
the Tinfoil Hat Brigade or something and decided we were all
worthless.

I should probably make an effort to get on the air more, but I never
cared too much for operating, I like to build and repair things.  It's
a shame I couldn't get service literature for this RF-5, I'd like to
have it working again.

> Mr. Carter is right,  If you cannot find the problem you will not get much help from Autek.  I had to junk my Autek because the board went bad.  There was no fix except to buy a new one.  That is not my idea of customer service.  I liked the wattmeter, but the old Drake W-4 works just fin for me.
