[Amps] Monitor RF output on computer screen

[Jim]

My Array Solutions Power Monitor does all of that too. Except for 
creating a smith chart. Which I dont need it do to. I need it to monitor 
my RF power output and detect ALC overshoot from a transceiver, which it 
does very well.

Oh... it also works better for tuning an amplfier. I have had numerous 
LP100s, and LP100As.

I just don't like the hold function design. So I've sold every one that 
I have ever owned. I have 3 Power Masters. One of them has a problem 
(that I created) that I need to get sent in. So we'll see how their 
(Array Solutions) customer service is.

To each their own.

Thanks
