straight up when the radio is on a table with speaker firing upward. The connector when onto the FT-817 fine, but the rubber duck will not for the life of me go onto the other end of the elbow. Paid $5.00 for this one; thought it was good. Am I doing something wrong or is the tolerance of this antenna too tight for anything but the most on-spec elbow? Anyone else have this problem? Know of a known N elbow source/part number that works? --Jeffrey, K2MIT -----Original Message-----

Did you get yours as a kit, and does it calibrate easily.

It is *very* easy to calibrate. Has a calibration procedure/capabailaity built into the unit. You adjust a pot for a specified voltage & three more pots for a fixed output reading. Very easy...takes about two minutes. The unit is well designed and appears to be quite accurate on all three reading scales. (10W, 1W, 100mW) The LDG digital wattmeter looks interesting also! I have yet to try one, but am considering purchasing one. Fred KD7T Yahoo!
