[Elecraft] KPA100 Metering?

[Tom K2TA]

Hi Fred -

There is wattmeter circuitry in the KPA-100 but the power display is scaled
to be shown on the 10 LED power indicator of the K2.  Instead of each
segment representing 1W they are now 10W.

FYI...The KAT-100 auto-tuner provides LED bar display for SWR at points of
1:1, 1.2:1, 1.3:1, 1.5:1, 1.7:1, 2:1,  2.5:1, 3:1, 4:1 and 5:1.
