[Elecraft] K2

[Don Wilhelm]

RC,

While the Elecraft W1 is a good instrument and has LEDs to indicate the 
level, I believe the steps between the illumination of each progressive 
LED are too large to substitute for an analog meter.

If your DMM has a pseudo-analog bar display, you could use that in 
conjunction with an RF Probe to indicate small changes in the RF 
output.  Of course a real analog device, the old swinging meter needle 
will usually be easier to see a peak than most digital instruments.
