Group, Thank you very much for the information. A few people contacted me off list and of course, Eric's response helps tremendously. Will start looking for someone, organization or individual, that may be able to help or do the conversion on these units. Have 4 of them. And another two meter

[Repeater-Builder] Remote power monitoring

2007-12-16 Thread Mike Besemer (WM4B)
I'm interested in remotely monitoring the power/SWR at the repeater site and having the ability to have a macro poll the device and report status over the repeater output. I see that LDG makes a power meter with a voice output that I could probably interface, but is there something designed more
