Fw: New Mini-Modules - They're here!!

[n4dsp]

Keith,
     as someone earlier suggested to build your own enclosure. I believe
Elecraft sells them at a minimal cost and it's fun. This way you can pick
the size you want. Also it will save you over a hundred dollars and more
investing in another product.

On behalf of someone who does have metal bashing tools and knowledge I just
don't have the time or inclination to make a case. I'm far away from
anywhere, one rally a year to buy boxes etc. I would rather spend my time
writing code. Sad - but that's me.

The little WM1 is an attractive option, myself $50 for a solid *metal*
enclosure would be very welcome, as would optional PL259 rather than BNC as
I'm PL259-based here (IC-703).

Put it in a Brass box for the Wallace & Gromit fans please, then I'll have
the first Watt-o-matic :-)

If you are looking for a finished power meter kit, you should check out
the LP-100, by fellow elecrafter Larry Phipps.  (www.telepostinc.com)
It is a very well thought out and attractive unit (neat pld display)
with power, swr and vector measurements. I participate in the LP-100
reflector and, from the comments, everyone seems to be quite pleased.  I
think he is starting another kitting run.

Subject: [Elecraft] New Mini-Modules - They're here!!

Hey guys, did you see?  Three new mini modules are on the order page and
their manuals are available for download.
 
- Power meter
- AF filter
- Stepped attenuator
 
I looked them over and gotta say, I was very disappointed.  I had really
envisioned a meter in a case that would match my K2.  Something with a
backlit LCD that would display power and SWR to with 2 digits each (11
watts, SWR 1.2).  I had plans to sell my Palstar meter (which won't do
QRP well) and get the Elecraft meter but now I'm really having 2nd
thoughts about that.
 
The audio filter looks really cool but, again, no case.
 
A power meter and an audio filter to me are not test equipment things,
their part of the basic station equipment.  They'd get used every time
I'm on the air and as such they really should be in a finished case with
real silk screen labels and knobs.
 
It's not clear to me that either one could be mounted in a box as the
components & connectors may project too tall above the board and could
interfere with the pots & LEDs as they try to project through the front
of the enclosure.

We'll be adding BNC male to SO-239 (UHF) adapters to the web site order
form early next week.
