No, it's not meant to be left in line, as it sucks up all the power and is not a "sampling" wattmeter. Peter Parker had a really simple sampling as a tuning indicator using a toroid, a couple of turns of wire, and an LED with the coax passing through the center. When I saw that, I wondered if it would be possible to use a similar sampling scheme and map it to a Nano. If? calibrated with a known source, I wonder how accurate it might be.
?Any chance at the code? I have pretty much all of that ready to go and a dummy load that would love that as a add on. Could it be used inline for active monitoring of output? I need a good meter but no radio funds outside spare parts at this time.
