Have not looked at all the posts about the z matcher but has anyone memtioned that DB Products makes one for several bands---150 and 450 and probably other bands. They have a reflected voltage/wattage metering circuit built in and one tunes it for min reverse reading. Just a simple pi network. Works great.
