[Boatanchors] SP-600 meter

[Al Parker]

Hi Boomer, Bob, et al,
    Yes, the SP-200/BC-779's also use a 200 ua meter.  They're basically 
measuring AVC voltage, tho' the ckts are slightly different.  The meters are 
both the same dia., have a round face and bezel, fit the same 2-1/8" hole 
with a back ring for securing, no screws.  The older meter is back-lit, and 
it's scale is only an S-meter, to S-9 only, while the SP-600's has an audio 
ouput scale on it.
    I did find my pic of the SP-600 meter scale & sent it to Bill, WD5DZG, 
this AM.
    I think Bob & I were watching/commenting on, the meter he got from ebay 
a while ago.  I have seen them there occasionally, but prices go from abt 
$75 to up well over $100, I think.
