KP-1 is a SWR and Power meter employing current transformer covereing the frequency range of 1.8MHz through 30MHz.
■ A large scale analogue cross meter and 7 segment LED allows for easy reading.
■ Meter has a built-in white LED back lighting allowing for readouts in low level light.
■ Meter has four ranges to measure power from 10W to 10KW. Digital display is not affected when changing measuring range.?
■ Digital display indicates SWR value.
■ PEP power readings with adjustable hold time, while operating SSB/CW.
■ Over-load protection circuit protects your linear amplifier and antennas. User adjustable trigger value of SWR(1.4 ~ 2.5) activates the protection circuit when SWR
exceeds the threshold level. Protection circuit opens the TX GND line between exciter and linear amplifier.
