Kees,

> Might work ??

I guess it works.
Depends on what "works" means.
And depends on what "AGC" means.

I assume we're talking about this AGC:??
and not this one from the discussion the other day:??/g/BITX20/message/48670

Might work as a sort of linear S-Meter on receive, most would prefer the usual logarithmic S-meter at 6dB per tick.

The relays pop the other way during transmit but I suppose you could rig it somehow to see a defined amount of?
transmit signal.? Meter would show relative voltage, most would likely prefer to see watts
(proportional to voltage squared) or maybe dBm (logarithmic).

Or were you thinking of measuring something else entirely?
I suppose you could add an AD8307 to the the AGC kit and measure the voltage coming out of that.

An extra display is ok, but I'd just as soon keep to the LCD for this sort of thing
If I need more room I'll move to a 20x4.

What if you take the little AGC Mini-kit and drive one of those $1 three digit LED voltage readout displays they have on eBay and display the voltage. You would have to separate the power leads to the LED display from the voltage to be measured input so you can go below 2.4V (I think that can be done). You can also add a switch so it will measure uBITX battery voltage.

Might work ??
