SMC connectors

I nave been busy sending out SMC angle PCB mount connectors go builders of the F1CJN power meter. These are sent out for the postage cost. They are not being sold. Response from the build community has been good  and the connectors are now almost all gone.
I had previously built an 'analogue' power meter using one of the specified HP33330B diodes and a 100uA meter for a completely portable power meter that I could take out to the EME dish without worrying about mains power for the HP435 meters.
The battery-powered F1CJN meter is a step up from this, allowing for auto-ranging and offsets when using attenuator or couplers for range extension.on a nice colour LCD screen. Progress.....
