Digital Panel Meters

[k4kyv]

The meter faces are not interchangeable. The old meter is made by G-E, and the replacement is made by Westinghouse. Totally different construction, even though it is the same basic style. I didn't throw the damaged meter out, just in case it can be repaired. I also have a 0-5 amp G-E meter that came out of the same transmitter, with built-in shunt.  It might have the same basic movement, and I could put the old scale on it.  But for now, the 0-150 scale is just as good as the 0-200, and has better resolution, 75 tick marks vs 40 on the old one.

I now disconnect the unit entirely when I am not actually using it to QSY, since it appears to be a lightning magnet, and sometimes a blast from the sky comes unexpected without warning, like the one that destroyed the first meter.
