Digital Watt/SWR Meter, Waveform Monitor Scope and Spectrum Analyzer all in one.
Preliminary Info
We have made some substantial changes to the LP-500 hardware which required a new PCB layout, more testing and a rewrite of the firmware. The changes mainly include upgrading the processor to 32-bit. The changes will result in improved performance (speed) and better expandability. The new design will provide the basis for several new products using the same basic hardware and much of the code. Interested parties can be added to a pre-order list by sending an email here. People on the pre-order list will be contacted with the option of firming up an order or cancelling. The first run will be 50 units, followed subsequent runs of at least 100 units each.
The LP-500 will only be offered assembled. Initial coupler offerings will be 3KW HF/6m, 5KW HF/6m & 10KW HF/6m couplers. A 1500W VHF coupler is also in the works.
Pricing has been tentatively set at $795USD for the meter and one coupler. Additional couplers (up to 4 total) can be added for $150USD each.
The following pictures do not necessarily show the highest resolution display options for each mode.
Important
notice for LP-100(A) owners... LP-500 WILL NOT replace the LP-100A. The
LP-100A will continue to be our main product with some important
features not provided in the LP-500. The LP-100A couplers are similar
but not identical to the LP-500 couplers, and are therefore not
interchangeable. The LP-500 VHF / UHF couplers will not work with the
LP-100A, but a version of the VHF coupler is being developed for the
LP-100A.
