[TenTec] Model 1225 SWR and Wattmeter Kit

[K8JHR]

Hi Stuart -- While I get the point you are making, and that seems 
logical enough ... on 6 meters, my Ten-Tec 1225 meter pegs the farthest 
point on the scale, even when using low power.

It seems fine on bands for which it is specified to work.

Thanks for your take on the matter.
