Thanks for all the responses about the meter! The best idea offered was to replace the meter with one from a DX-40, so does any one have a DX-40 meter for sale or trade? If so, how much $$ shipped to 34606? 73 Gene, WØQFC Stuff for sale: www.w0qfc.shutterfly.com Web site: www.w0qfc.com AF&AM #91 Lafayette CO
