Model # GM-102: Graphical HF SWR & Wattmeter
- Handles Full Legal Power Across the Full HF Spectrum Plus 6M– The GM-102 will measure from 1.8MHz to 54MHz. Top range is 2KW full scale.
- Graphical Touch Display – The meter uses a 3.5” TFT display with an integrated resistive touch panel. All user controls are accessed via the touch panel.
- Peak Hold Capability – The meter comes with a user-selectable peak hold function that will smooth out the wild fluctuations when using SSB or CW and display your true peak power output.
- User Selectable Meter Faces – The user has a choice of three different meter faces: Traditional Needle, Bar Graphs, and Full Screen Digital. The needle face can be changed from displaying the forward power to displaying reflected power. The bar graphs and full screen digital display both forward and reflected power on the same meter face.
- Three Independent Power Scales in 2 Selectable Ranges – The meter provides three power scales: Either 10W/100W/1KW or 20W/200W/2KW – user-selectable. The forward and reflected power scales can be selected independently of each other.
- Always On Digital Display – The forward and reflected power as well as the VSWR is constantly shown at the bottom of the meter’s display screen in large numerals for quick, easy viewing.
- Remote Sensor Unit – The actual sensor unit is remotely connected to the meter via an inexpensive stereo cable with 3.5mm plugs on each end. This allows for its placement in-line without the need to reroute your feedline to the meter’s operating location.
- Computer Interface – Comes equipped with a USB interface and companion Windows application for viewing the meter on your computer screen as well as remotely controlling all of the meter’s functions. The communications protocol is published so that the user can create their own application, or integrate the meter into other 3rd party solutions such as Node Red.
- Complete Kit is $250.00 plus shipping.
Model # RAAS-8a: 8 Position Remote Automatic Antenna Switch Kit
- NEW! Control from Your PC – Now available with an optional USB interface to your PC for computer control! Comes with a companion Windows Application for computer controlling the switch. Also, currently supported by RemoteHams.com.
- Supports up to 8 Antennas – Reduce feedline costs by only running a single coaxial cable out to your antenna farm.
- Easy to Operate – This antenna switch can be as easy to operate as simply pressing a button to select an antenna.
- Automatic Antenna Selection – If your transceiver provides band data, it can easily be programmed by the operator to automatically select an antenna when a new band is selected. The same antenna can be assigned to multiple bands.
- Compatibility – The automatic antenna selection feature relies on band data being supplied by the transceiver. It can utilize one of two types of band data: 4-line BCD (Yaesu and Elecraft), and voltage level (Icom). Unfortunately, Kenwood radios don’t specifically output band data, but instead rely on the user to query the CAT port. However, there are commercially available band data decoders that will interface with Kenwood rigs and provide the necessary inputs to this antenna switch.
- Transmitter Protection – The switch will accept a transmit signal from the transceiver and lock out the ability to change antennas while transmitting.
- Handles Up to 1500 Watts – The switch will handle up to 1500 watts into a 50Ω load.
- Low SWR – the SWR is less than 1.2:1 for the 160 through 6-meter bands; less than 1.5:1 for the 2-meter band.
- Low Insertion Loss – The insertion loss is less than 0.1 dB through the 6-meter band; less than 0.25 dB for the 2 meter band.
- Base kit is $209.00 plus shipping.
- Optional USB Interface Module is $40.00 plus shipping.
Model # RAAS-4a: 4 Position Remote Automatic Antenna Switch Kit

- Transmitter Protection – The switch will accept a transmit signal from the transceiver and lock out the ability to change antennas while transmitting.
- No Separate Control Line Required – The switch sends the control signal over the coaxial feedline using a bias-T connection.
- Handles Up to 1500 Watts – The switch will handle up to 1500 watts into a 50Ω load.
- Low SWR – the SWR is less than 1.2:1 for the 160 through 6-meter bands; less than 1.5:1 for the 2-meter band.
- Low Insertion Loss – The insertion loss is less than 0.1 dB through the 6-meter band; less than 0.25 dB for the 2 meter band.
