The only info I've ever found on that supply is here:

It's on page 5 or 6...
?
I used to use one back in the mid to late 90s. ? Helper was founded by Bill Detwiler (I forget his callsign) around 1975 and went out of business around 1999-2000 after he died.
The the remains were acquired by Zetron.? Zetron, in turn, was acquired by JVC / Kenwood but continues as a company.?? At a recent IWCE trade show the people in the Zetron
booth had no idea that they once sold Helper products (I tease them that they should bring back the RF Millivoltmeter).

Mike,

I found that page on rptrbldr also.

Its not much but better than nuthin.

Thanks for the bit of history. I didn't know that before.

I have one of the Helper millivoltmeters. It sure works well for me.

Sure are a lot for sale on Ebay without the probe. Fortunately I got one at a reasonable price with the probe.

Did you see that design for a homebuilt probe? Somewhere here on rptrbldr I think.

thanks again.
