Buly,

I'll be buying the PLX SM-AFR & DM-5 Combo (select from this page):

http://www.plxdevices.com/cgi-bin/shopper.cgi?search=action&category=00WB&keywords=all

Note that some of the widebands require periodic recalibration; this one does not.

Rusty has experience with wide band meters. He sent me recommendations a couple of years ago but I've had a computer crash (without adequate backup!!!) since then; maybe he'll jump in here with his experience.
