To bad the swr /power meter is not build in on the V/U addon.
Another question:
Is any other way possible to add it? May be by using a mutilexer in front
of the existing A/D for use of power metering?
If we have to have an external solution:
Question:
Are there any other SWR heads (low cost) with USB hookup (could be without a
display) and feed the info into PWRSDR (Virtual com) for processing and
display it in the regular meter display. The pickup could be hidden under
the table and we don't need more deskspace. May be if not already done may
be a small project could be made with a small pic or other processor.
