Autek Research--- Still In Business????
- Thread starter Mudfoot
- Start date
I was thinking of buying one, but guess I can't now. I remember they had a LAME way of ordering stuff from them anyways.
I have four of the WM1's.
Last one I picked up off flea bay.
They are good meters and true PEP readers.
A little frequency sensitive as far as accuracy, the lower the freq the more the meter says the output it, but most meters do that anyway.

Still in business - Probably not
Some years back I called them, here in Florida, if I remember correctly.
I wanted to order a replacement plastic meter cover, the guy on the phone
acted like I had just committed a Cardinal Sin. Very very rude and boisterous.
Told him in choice words to K.M.A., hung up and sold the meter for parts.....
You cannot treat paying customers like crap and expect to stay in business, makes
no matter that you have good products..............

I just use a switch to change rigs. One meter, umpteen rigs. I do understand the "why's" of what you're doing, though.

He heard the conspiracy in which Obama was going to ban them so he bought all he could!!!
They only accepted phone orders about 4 hours a day and to order online you would put your address and credit card info on an unsecured form and submit. Lame is understating it but the WM-1 is a nice piece. I only live 15 miles from where they build them and they refused to let me pick up one at their facility.
