[ARC5] Missing meter in Phantom Antenna A-61-A (#7777)

Fri Apr 8 22:28:45 EDT 2016

 Was wondering if anyone knows the spec's for the meter that goes
into the Phantom Antenna A-61-A (#7777)?

Bought it off of the bay, with the meter gone.  So I wasn't surprised.
Anyway, if you have the spec's for it, sure would appreciate you
sending the info to me.
Thanks,
-Tom  KE4RHH
