Sigh! My beloved TMC SWR meter (part of the ATS-2 tuner) has suddenly
quit working properly.
It is a large, duo-movement, twin-needle meter for forward and reflected
RF.
The forward needle gets stuck in mid-position. Thumping and shaking the
meter will not budge it.
Carefully applying a small amount of DC from a VTVM (200k Ohms
position), usually frees it.
My next step is to carefully open the meter case to see if the problem
is obvious or simple, but
I am not optimistic. Has anyone in the group had experience with TMC
meter repairs or
can recommend someone with experience? Or, does someone have a spare
TMC SWR meter (M101) for sale?
