[Elecraft] Very pleased with KV5J Digital Display Unit for the Elecraft KPA500

[Macy monkeys]

I just finished hooking up the remote KV5J DDU for my KPA500. It arrived today via USPS extremely well packed. Hook up was a snap. The unit does exactly what Keith says it does. And it looks terrific! The display is not too bright, not too dim. Perfect! It is very professional looking in a stout metal housing. Keith was quick to answer my emails. 

Very pleased! I have no connection to Keith or his products other than being a satisfied customer.
