Use an batteries I have the kit put out by Bob Crews, KJ4CQ, which also ate 9v batteries. I solved the problem by substituting two small 9VDC wall warts for the batts. Works like a charm. Ken K4XL k
W4AWI: You found the secret, obviously. But most of us, me included, don't switch wattmeters "on" and "off." In fact, I don't really switch anything on and off -- my gear is mostly on continuously, w
That sounds like very poor design. The meter is only 30 uA, so even to keep the meter at FSD, cells should last almost forever. The electronics to keep the peak must use very little power - a precisi
