LDG

   

LDG FT-Meter   

New Model with Bright-Blue Face 
The new FT-Meter presents a lush, highly readable bright-blue 2.5" meter face with calibrated scales for signal strength and discriminator reading on receive, and power output, SWR, modulation, ALC action and supply voltage on transmit. Two-Year Warranty.

 

Yaesu's popular FT-857(D) and FT-897(D) transceivers are wonders of compact efficiency. These do-anything, go-anywhere transceivers were science fiction just a few years ago, but ham's today are using them in shacks, mobiles and on dxpeditions from the back yard to the top of the world.

About the only problem with these radios is that us hams who are old enough to remember when stuff like this really was science fiction are also old enough to wish that the display was just little bit bigger. As we grow in wisdom and experience, we also grow to depend on bifocals; those tiny little screens are just plain hard to read! Add to that a strong desire to see a real live meter needle bouncing on voice peaks, and you find yourself wishing Yaesu had thought all this through when they designed the radio.

Well, in fact they did. A little known feature of these radios, noticed only by compulsive manual readers, is a meter jack on the bottom of the front panel. You have to figure that Yaesu knew they needed a bigger display all along, but just left it as an exercise for the user. Well, help is here! The LDG FT-Meter is a low-cost, plug-and-play solution to all your FT metering needs.

The FT-Meter presents a lush, highly readable 2.5" meter face with calibrated scales for signal strength and discriminator reading on receive, and power output, SWR, modulation, ALC action and supply voltage on transmit. Each function is selectable from the radio's menu. Easily visible from anywhere on your desk or dash, the FT-Meter is illuminated by any external 12 vdc source. The FT-Meter comes fully assembled and ready to go; just plug it into the radio and you're in the picture like never before.

LDG FTL-Meter

New Model 4.5" Meter Face

 

Yaesu's popular FT-857(D) and FT-897(D) transceivers are wonders of compact efficiency. These do-anything, go-anywhere transceivers were science fiction just a few years ago, but ham's today are using them in shacks, mobiles and on DXpeditions from the back yard to the top of the world.

Add to that a strong desire to see a real live meter needle bouncing on voice peaks, and you find yourself wishing that Yaesu had thought all this through when they designed the radio.

 

Well, it turns out they did. A little known feature of these radios, noticed only by compulsive manual readers, is a meter jack on the bottom of the front panel. Well, help is here! The LDG FTL-Meter is a large, easy-to-read, plug-and-play solution to all of your metering needs.

 

LDG’s new version of its popular FTL-Meter presents a lush, highly readable 4.5 inch meter face with calibrated scales for signal strength and discriminator reading on receive, and power output, SWR, modulation, ALC action and supply voltage on transmit. Each function is selectable from the radio's menu.

LDG  DM-7800

Icom’s magnificent IC-7800 transceiver is a quantum leap is amateur radio technology. Sure, it cost more than your first car but it offers features and performance unheard of in lesser rigs. Icom did a pretty good job on the make-believe LCD meters, but let’s face it… sometimes nothing but a real, live meter will do.

 

LDG’s DM-7800 dual meter system provides two 4.5” meters, one for the Main receiver and one for the Sub. The lush meter faces are LED back-illuminated in cool, high-visibility blue, drawing only 20 – 60 ma (depending on brightness setting) with a brightness control on the back.

 

There are separate calibration adjustments for Main and Sub accessible from the back of the DM-7800; you don’t have to take the meter apart to cal. A provided cable connects to your rig, and the radio menu lets you select functions for each meter. What’s more, the DM-7800 and the virtual meters on your radio can work together; for example, you can display SWR on the radio’s meter and power output on the DM-7800. On receive, the S-meter reading is shown.

 

The DM-7800 is 9.7 x 4 x 4 inches, and requires power only for the lights; the meters themselves are passive. The case is textured black, a great match for the IC-7800.

 

Your beautiful IC-7800 deserves the best; add LDG’s new DM-7800 dual meter system, and you're in the picture like never before. The DM-7800 is made exclusively for the IC-7800

Your discounted price $155.00

 

 

LDG  M-7700 

New Model 4.5" Meter Face

The LDG M-7700 provides a lavish 4 ˝” meter for IC-7700. It will display S-meter on receive, or power out, SWR, ALC level or supply voltages, all selectable from the rig’s setup menu. What’s more, the M-7700 and the virtual meter on your radio can work together; for example, you can display SWR on the radio’s meter and power output on the M-7700.

The meter face is backlit in cool LED blue, powered by any 12 volt, 250ma source; there’s a brightness control on the case back. The meter itself is passive; it doesn’t require the 12 volt supply. You don’t have to power the backlight, but you’ll be missing out on a great feature if you don‘t. Calibration adjustments are accessible from the back of the M-7700; you don’t have to take the meter apart if you ever need to cal.

The M-7700 comes fully assembled and calibrated; both the radio and power cables are included, of course, so you’re ready to go right out of the box. And, it carries LDG‘s two year, fully transferable warranty

LDG TALKING WATTMETERS

   

   

 

TW-2 Talking Wattmeter

 

Frequency range: 50 MHz, 144MHz, 220 MHz and 440 MHz

The TW-2 Talking Wattmeter is the companion unit to our popular TW-1. It provides an aural spoken indication of power and SWR using a synthesized voice in the VHF and UHF ham bands. It is ideal for the vision-impaired, for those of us in the “bi-focal set”, or just for those times when you need to be looking somewhere else. It's also perfect for mobile operation; you can check your power and SWR and still keep you eyes on the road.

Simply set the band you want to use, and at the press of a button, the TW-2 speaks the forward power or SWR: "The Forward Power Is One Hundred Watts". Three languages are available: English, Spanish and German. It includes its own internal speaker; no external audio hookups are needed.

The TW-2 also offers a continuous tone mode for tuning. Simply press and hold the Forward or SWR button, and a tone indicates power or SWR reading. As you adjust your transmitter or antenna tuner, a higher tone indicates higher power or SWR. This is just the thing for peaking your satellite uplink amplifier while keeping a close watch on the collector current. It’s also great for making those adjustments to your mobile antenna.

You can select either long or short voice reports. Long reports include descriptors like “thousand” or “hundred” and end with “watts”. Short reports speak only the numerical value of the measurement you’ve selected for a quick reading.

The TW-2 will handle up to 250 watts with a resolution of 0.1 watt. The TW-2 is accurate to +/- 5% of the reading across the entire power range; this may very well be the most accurate wattmeter you own.

The TW-2 is microprocessor controlled, and can easily be upgrade in the field with a simple chip exchange. It requires 7 – 15 volts DC at 200 mA maximum, but consumes almost no current when not speaking

  • Wattmeter JTW270 

    • Frequency range: 140-525 MHz

    • Input impedance: 50 ohms

    • Power scales: 15 and 150 watts

    • Connector: SO239

    • Input power: 12VDC

      For the 220 MHz band, power readings must be converted. Multiply the meter reading by 0.7 to get the true value. For example, if the reading is 50W the actual power value is 35W. A meter reading of 10W would be an actual value of 7W etc.
