this looks awesome...more lights!  and definately better meetering.   The only problem here is that it costs $110 (cheapest I could find via retail).  I did see one on ebay for $75.
That is still $50 more than the DIY kit i'm messing with.  Still, I may end up w/one any way.  

I'm hoping to get mine together by the end of this week.  I'll take pictures and let every know how I did it....as long as it comes out in workable order, that is.

i thought you saw that post/link about a wek ago,saME THING, very promising

 that first one lookes to have a mic element that serves for the input source?
that wont do.

we need input pins and cal pots.  those are a must.  two monos are fine, and iv'e seen some other kits that offer more lights.  this one that i chose had it all, except lots of lights.

the 2nd link has much better options!  whish I had seen those first!
damn.  I'll likely order one of those 15 or 10 led kits and go for a more refined version on my 2nd attempt.
i'm almost done w/my first kit.  just need to design the box.

ok, another problem w/the hobbytron kits is that they require 10-15v of juice
and i'm not carrying a 12v SLA to power anything!  
down w/lead is my motto.

now, i know a small 12v sla is still several pounds, would run both the ua-5 and a nice level meter like either of those stereo ones for a long time, but still...I dont think i'd carry lead for it.
shit, thats a bummer.

I'd like to see it off the box. I'd love some meters. But wouldn't want to void my warranty from Doug.

I could add it once the warranty peroid was over.

Perhaps Doug could come up with a new mod.  I love my UA5, but professionally done meters would be the icing on the cake.
