[FoxHunt] HTX-202 Audio S-Meter Mod

[Marvin Johnston]

Bob Simmons, WB6EYV, taps into the HTX-202 S meter circuit to use the
HTX-202 with his Yagi Plot setup. I checked his website
(http://www.silcom.com/~pelican2/) but didn't see any mention of the
mods. He does read this list, and can probably answer the question.
