[TowerTalk] Remote head HF power meters

[Alastair Beaton]

Hi All,

The discussion about the RadioShack wattmeter brought to mind a 
similar (but probably better) product made by Wm Nye Co. This was a unit with 
FWD and REF meters, PEP/HOLD/AVG measurement and a remote sensor 
head. It also had a PTT line breaker and warning for excess VSWR. I 
think a small selection of different heads was available. A neat feature was that it could 
be powered either by DC or just by RF. 

A 160m colleague (GM3WTA) had one - I was deeply envious. We tested 
it against a '43, and it was very accurate.

Does Nye still make it? Is Nye still in business?
