Chris,

1. An RS DVM ($50).
2. A surplus oscilloscope ($200 if you shop around).
3. A reflectometer (build your own, or shop surplus).

Best 73,

This is a good comment.  But, long time ago the way to rate quality meters,
I think, is different than now.
What are 3 good quality meters (assumed VOMs)  in price zones of <$100,
$100 to $200, and the criteria for rating as such.

And to make this really ICOM specific, what 3 pieces of measuring
equipment  should be in the ICOM shack (including the previously mentioned
meter), with total price of say $300.  ( May include u-build or u-brew if
easy)
