[Elecraft] W1 Wattmeter/SWR Bridge + KX1

[Fred Jensen]

I finished the W1 computing wattmeter, and put it in W8FGU's nifty 
polycarbonate enclosure.  It was an easy build, some tidbits and links 
can be found at www.foothill.net/~andreaj/Ham45.htm

While fooling with the KX1 and BuddiPole on the deck on a balmy evening, 
I discovered that if I remove the tilt stand on Dave's enclosure [easy, 
it's fastened with velcro], a double male BNC will couple the wattmeter 
to the KX1 and the combination lays flat on the table.  I can tune the 
BP with the W1, making it unnecessary to carry the antenna analyzer 
along on field expeditions.  All in all, a nifty little arrangement.

PS:  Enough BNC adapters and I could probably do something similar with 
my K2 :-)
