The Oak Hills Research WM-2 Wattmeter

by Mick M0GWD | 2 Jul 24 | Homebrew, Kit Builds, Reviews

I ordered the OHR WM-2 Wattmeter Kit to support my growing interest in QRP operation. It is a nice kit to build using quality components, enabling the builder to make a really useful piece of equipment. Designed specifically for QRP usage, it operates from 300 KHz – 54 MHz and measures forward and reflected power at QRP…

The ZM-2 Emtech Antenna Tuning Unit

I ordered this kit from the USA to go with my YouKits HB-1B QRP CW transceiver. It has a favourable reputation for tuning unbalanced and balanced antennas, and it has appropriate connections for both. You can build the ZM-2 with either BNC or SO-239 sockets. I ordered mine with BNC, as these seem to be…
