I think your best bet would be to find a fairly simple to read meter of a size to fit where you want to put it, and is lit up. In a mobile, that 'size' thing will be the determining factor probably. One way of making that 'size' smaller is to use one of the 'cross-needle' meters. They are also simpler to read once you become accustomed to them, which doesn't take long at all. The 'best' thing about them is there are no calibration adjustments. Maybe a range scale, but that's it.
There are a number of manufacturers that make them, pick the one you like the best and can afford.

Agreed. I set my mobile up with my Bird and then get a baseline on my RatShack. I carry the RatShack and a jumper for spot checks, or if something just doesn't seem right, but I don't leave it in line.I like either NO meter in my mobile, or something big enough that I can see whats going on via my peripheral. No meter is typically how I run mine, though.

Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned |
