Default F.S. National Comapny S meter

this kind of S meter circuit, fine. When I saw that S meter I thought
it would look 'cool' in a (solid state) QRP rig I was planning. But,
I'd have to come up with a 'bass-ackwards' meter circuit to make it
work. I suppose that the meter should end up in another HRO or similar
receiver that needs a replacement though.


The reverse-movement meters are WAY more expensive and hard to find than
typical meters. If you want a cheap movement for a homebrew QRP rig,
check out Fair Radio... they always have something interesting and
inexpensive, often with a weird scale marked "roentgens" or something.
