I will be demo'ing my E-Meter digital wide dynamic range power/SWR meter 
at the SteppIR booth at Dayton this year. The E-Meter will be of 
interest to Elecrafters bcause it provides accurate power readings from 
10mw to 2500W, and accurate SWR readings from 50mw to 2500W.  The demo 
will include my K2 as the power source, and a Bird 4410A wattmeter for 
comparison.

The E-Meter will be available in kit or assembled form, and has also 
been accepted for publication in an upcoming issue of QEX for you 
homebrewers. The prototype unit can be seen on my website with details, 
www.telepostinc.com/n8lp.html. The final version will be  offered in an 
all metal case closely resembling the EC1 case used for the K1.

It is autoranging, and has very good accuracy. The meter has a built-in 
frequency counter which allows precise in-the-field calibration at up to 
154 frequency/power combinations, with extrapolation between cal points. 
I plan to offer a calibrator mini-kit as well. Assembled units will be 
delivered calibrated on all bands from 160-6m, and at 10W, 100W and 1000W.

The E-Meter has a serial port for remote or PC control, and comes with a 
freeware "virtual" control panel for Windows.

For more info, contact me off list.
