[Elecraft] Recommendation for a 200 Watt SWR/Wattmeter?

[Larry Phipps]

I would normally agree with you about the analog display John, and 
that's why my LP-100 digital wattmeter project has a bargraph analog 
display as well as numerical readout, and it is MUCH faster than an 
analog meter... fast enough to follow voice peaks. The LP-100 has 36 bar 
segments, and even the handheld LP-300 has 21 segments... they feel 
quite "analog". Also, they both show simultaneous power and SWR in both 
digital and analog form on one screen.
