Re[2]: [HomeBrew] UHF SWR meters

Mon, 23 Feb 2004 00:04:47 -0600

Hello W6OAL,

Was this not of interest to the rest of the list that you replied
directly?
How much are those sensors? I'm looking for a cheap solution that will
work for this. Other SWR meter projects use a homebuilt sensor, but
most I've seen are (probably) not designed for UHF.

Why did my mail to the list have that crosspost comment? I wasn't
crossposting or using CC: or BCC:.
