As with a good meal, I think I'll keep it! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I did my research and it paid off. This may not be the cheapest little black box on the market but certainly seems to be worth the price. I have used some great Wattmeters over the years on a professional basis, I would have to say the LP-100A could stand up to any of them. I had heard, and found it quite novel, that each unit you receive comes programmed with you call sign already loaded. No, not a stroke of genius but a very nice touch.

N8LP did a very nice job on this quality piece of RF gear. Should I need another Wattmeter...I will definitely purchase another LP-100A.

Superb Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have had a LP-100/A Digital Vector Wattmeter in my shack for the last few years , sadly one evening the display went dead , a quick email to Larry followed ,with a respone within minutes about possible causes and a fix , this did not work . I sent the LP-100 back to Tele Post for repair and expected a bill in return , what I got was my equipment back repaired with no charge , not even the shipping . In a word superb service and consideration , and very much appreciated . As for the LP- 100 , I would be lost in the shack without it , worth every cent and with a service that money can not buy .

simply the best Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This is simply the best meter I have ever had the opportunity of using. Mine arrived this morning, and I put it through its paces throughout the day. All it takes is a short "dit" on the CW key paddle, and it is enough to show precisely what the power and SWR is.

It is an incredibly intelligent meter and well engineered. A nice touch which impressed me was that my callsign had been programmed by Larry into the meter, which scrolled on the display several times before going to sleep when not in use. Another great feature is that when it is in sleep mode, all it takes is a PTT on the mic, or a "dit" on the CW keyer for it to wake up fully and show the power and SWR immediately.

I cannot say enough good things about this masterpiece. Such reactions are usually reserved for the latest and greatest rigs - I never thought a power meter could make me feel so impressed !!!

Thanks Larry, you have a winner here !

Best Time Owned: more than 12 months.
What can I say that has not already been said in the previous reviews? The LP-100a is absolutely the best wattmeter I have ever used. You cannot go wrong with the high quality of this unit or the splendid service that N8LP provides for this unit.

Don't bother with other cheaper meters, it is just not worth it. I have tested the LP-100a against other meters and it is amazing how far off the other meters can be.

Highly recommended! A 10+!

Cadillac! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Nothing positive to add to the other reviews except to add one more to the count of satisified users.
Really enjoy operating with the LP-100A addition to the shack. Had the pleasure of meeting N8LP, Larry, and his XYL at Dayton this year. Terrific folks and great support. I have no doubts about long term ownership of this wattmeter.

the best power meter I ever had Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I think is the best powermeter for ham use...why?
-precise in both AVG and Peak
-flexiblility to read more than direct/reflected power (via computer RS232)
-prise in frequency response (I checked from 1.8 to 65MHz with HP432 and precision dispersion is less than 1%!!! better than Bird...yes hard to believe)
-support is fantastic, I had the chance to meet two time Larry at Dayton, what a wonderful person.
So resuming, I have LP-PAN and LP-100A and waiting for LP-500 when will be available
