W1 Wattmeter/SWR Bridge + KX1

[k6dgw]

I finished the W1 computing wattmeter, and put it in W8FGU's nifty
polycarbonate enclosure.  It was an easy build, some tidbits and links
can be found at www.foothill.net/~andreaj/Ham45.htm

While fooling with the KX1 and BuddiPole on the deck on a balmy evening,
I discovered that if I remove the tilt stand on Dave's enclosure [easy,
it's fastened with velcro], a double male BNC will couple the wattmeter
to the KX1 and the combination lays flat on the table.  I can tune the
BP with the W1, making it unnecessary to carry the antenna analyzer
along on field expeditions.  All in all, a nifty little arrangement.

73,

PS:  Enough BNC adapters and I could probably do something similar with
my K2 :-)

Cool. I'm getting close to finishing my W1 and putting it in a W8FGU  
enclosure. How do the KX1 power readings compare to the W1 readings?

73!
