This is an old modification.Is the modulation/rf pwr/swr meter in the unit broken? They make inline unites too. Why do you want to do this? R you just board? Just wondering? My one son is legally blind without his glasses so I can see how some might want a larger display/ I am not one that likes to watch the pretty needle bound around so it would be wasted on me. To be honest I would probably get a Dosey Meter if I wanted to have a large modulation meter to look at and they go inline with the feed line and have other functions as well. They are relative after all not at all absolute. R you doing hifi, direct inject or something. similar?
This is an old modification.
The Cobra 142 has a modulation meter and the original Grant has one (not the Grant XL or 148 GTL)
My Grant XL is not modified, but yes the meter would just be something to look at.
I had the idea of turning my Grant XL into a base station, with a dedicated/built-in mod meter; but never got around to it.
It is okay OneLastTime, I didn't get too offended! At first I was thinking "what is wrong w/ the one in the radio??" what one, in the radio!Oh I hope I did not offend you. I was not trying to be negative but after re-reading my post I thought I had better apologize. I do not mind offending people on purpose but hate to do it on accident.
Sorry if I came off negative or rude!
