Will,

Have a look at the LP-100.

Very good value for a very good looking meter.

Evidently, they don't use a true PEP reading circuit to measure it. Now I'm 
looking at two that interest me and am 
wondering if any here have gave them a try? First, is a MFJ-868 which has a 
good huge meter that is easily read. It 
has the peak reading function along with average. The power rating is for 20 / 
200 / 2000 Watts. I like this because 
of not having to put on glasses just to read it. How good is the peak reading 
circuit that MFJ uses or how accurate is 
it? Another is the RadioCraft 3000 Pro which has two 3-1/2" meters pretty 
easily read. One meter for SWR and the 
other for power. This one has peak reading / average circuits up to 3 kW, and 
also has everything automatic. No 
more turning a switch to set the power level. However, it's about X2 t

priced to me for what they are, and very limited in function. If anyone has 
anything like the above for sell, please let 
me know off the list. Also, all comments are welcome about the meters in 
question.
