This project was first published in Amateur Radio magazine volume 89 No.6 2021as a 250 watt unit only. It has since evolved, adding units for 500 watts and 1200 watts PEP to the range.These power ratings are programmed into the microprocessor using jumpers. The only other changes necessary are the number of turns on the toroids in the sensor heads, and 2 resistor voltage dividers provided on the main pcb.
Three photos and a PDF file showing alternative methods of constructing the sampling head
This project is provided as a full kit of parts with everything supplied except the enclosure for the main pcb and LCD. This is not supplied because the main pcb and LCD can be assembled in at least three different ways, and it is believed that many amateurs may want to build these assemblies into existing enclosures.
