This is a QRP wattmeter that I built a little while back. I bought the circuit board pre made at a local hamfest from Far Circuits. According to the documention of the board it was made to fit into a 4 " Bud enclosure. But, after scavengeing around the junk pile (as all good amateurs do), I found some aluminum plates that would fit the bill just fine. After making the box and putting the circuit together; I needed to make the hole for the gauge that will be used for the meter. Below are some pictures of how I made the hole for the meter, and the completed meter assembly. The circuit schematic and construction plans was supplied by Far circuits as a reprint of anARRL article. The hardest part was redeisgning the meter face. The graduations and numbering were done by hand.
