Hi Barry,

I studied the data sheet, realized it doesn't do anything useful, and 
asked Wayne why not. I got the distinct impression that it's never going 
to anything useful.

For several years, I've been in line to buy N8LP's new LP500 TX monitor. 
It WILL do a LOT of useful stuff, and is due to go into production in 
the first half of 2016. A year or so ago, I bought a used LP100A from 
the estate of a local SK. It came with one coupler and I bought a second 
for my SO2R station. The LP100A auto-switches between them.  I love it!  
As a result, I can run much closer to our 1,5000 W limit than with the 
less accurate power meters I used before.
