I just received a new R.F Sentinel Wattmeter and it is great. Measures peak, average and peak with hold power. Auto-ranging 300 or 3000 watts. Backlit crossneedle meter etc,etc. Similar product to the much sought after Power Monitor by Nye Viking that is no longer available and commanding prices of 350.00 and up used.
A Five Star product.

Hey Marty, I've got one also! It's the best wattmeter ever!
The website is not up yet but there's a more descriptive review available on eham.net's review database in the wattmeter and dummy load section. A small picture is available there as well. The website should be up soon.
www.radiocraft-eng.com is the addy. It should be said that the reason that Marty and I have one is that it just came out, built by a ham we hang out with on 160meters. It's his retirement project after having had all the wattmeters noting their idiosyncracies and designing a board that brings it into the 21st century. It's a peak and hold meter w/ selectable hold time, auto actuating, auto ranging complete with an ALO sensing device for amps. There are two ranges 0-300/0-3kw with a backlighted dual meter. It comes with a 12v wall wart for its power. Its professionally
appointed, handsome and works better than anything like it. It's reasonably priced and good from 1.8-54Mhz.
Where did you get it and how much?
Their website, www.radiocraft-eng.com is under construction and should
be available by mid February. Price is $279.95 plus shipping & insurance.
90 day warranty. E-mail to radiocraft@tgi.net
