Regarding the VFD digital SWR/power meter, I have one it and it does have some
very nice features.  I use the SWR alarm relay to protect my solid-state amp and
I like the readability of the display.

But (there's always a 'but'): the unit has a 3KW full-scale.  I suspect that in
order to get such a wide range the designer sacrificed accuracy at the very
bottom end; mine is pretty inaccurate below about 15 watts.

So if you are interested in QRP you probably should also have one of those nice
OHR units or a Bird with several slugs.
