[Elecraft] Interesting meter

[Drew AF2Z]

Oh, I don't have any experience with that monster, but I believe the swr 
balance is tuned as follows:

There are several SWR meter switch positions on the panel, say 10:1, 
5:1, and 2:1. In the 10:1 position if the SWR is less than 10 the meter 
will be in the green; if more than 10 it will be in the red. Once you 
get it into the green you'd switch to the 5:1 position and again tune 
for the green; then the same in the 2:1 position for minimum green 
reading. Whew!

(Personally, I prefer to leave my own manual SWR meter on Reflected 
Power. If there are less than a few watts reflected then good enough for 
govt work, haha... No switching, calibrating, etc.)


73,
