[amsat-bb] Re: Pre-amps with SWR meter

[k6yk]

Hi All, 
This is a good thing to consider whether it's for preamps or anything
else such as a tower-mounted remote co-ax switch.   I had one meter, 
think it was an MFJ-815, that did not have a DC path through it. 
My co-ax switch didn't work anymore !  Had to peddle the meter and
put in another, then everything was OK again. 

73,
John, K6YK
