[R-390] RE: Surplus Meters

[Laird Tom N]

Barry and group,

I don't know the meter details of Tom's KK8M KIT'S.

I did a search on his name and came up with

Thomas Bowes
phone: 586-677-9498
email: bowes at klondyke.net

I did not try to call him or email him, but you might give it a try.

Could you perhaps tell us what is in the kit? I have some surplus meters that I'd like to use; however they have an internal resistances of 600 and 800 ohms.  Mr. Bowes didn't mention the internal resistance of his meters or how he compensated for them.  I realize the VU meter isn't as tricky, but the carrier level meter probably needs some attention to matching resistances, etc.
