unfortunately it's all I have, so it's what I use.
I'm using it to track down what may or may not be a problem .. I don't
totally trust this meter, it got pretty damp in the flood and the
movement tends to stick in places, but I figured it should be at least
usable to detect reflected power. I've been moving it closer and
closer to the amp trying to find the broken piece, and the reflected
power indication has been rising! I'm down to one 6" jumper and I'll
swap that next, but the behaviour is disturbing and I wonder if my
assumption that the 1G slug should work as a relative power indicator
is flawed? The meter does give reasonable results on the lower bands
with proper slugs ..
