[Boatanchors] Diamond sx-100 SWR/Power Meter

[Richard Solomon]

That answers my question ....

--RANT ON--

I cannot abide manufacturers who refuse to supply schematics with their
equipment. Especially something as simple as a SWR Meter.

If I run across one I will happily e-mail them and inform them that my 
decision
NOT to purchase their product was solely for this reason.
