[Elecraft] Field Strength Meter

[Jim Campbell]

A word of caution.  The Radio Shack Field Strength/SWR Meter is for QRO
operation.  Five watts doesn't even budge the meter.  I ended up
replacing the innards with the NoGa SWR kit and it now works fine for
power and SWR, but not field strength.  Lest there be any confusion, the
unit that I am using is Catalog # 21-533.
