Introducing Metrowpwr

Professional-grade station control, metering, and remote operation — built for the serious amateur radio operator.

We've been listening. Operators want power metering they can trust, antenna switching that keeps up with contest rates, rotator control that just works, and the freedom to run a full station remotely without compromise. The Metrowpwr range delivers all of it — in a cohesive family of products engineered to work together or standalone.

Here's everything that's new.

Wattmeter FX778 + Z3

7" Wattmeter — 3kW / 5kW

The FX778 paired with the Z3 sensing unit gives you a large, bright 7-inch display showing forward and reflected power in real time. Whether you're running a barefoot rig or pushing legal limit with a kilowatt amplifier, the dual 3kW and 5kW ranges keep you covered without range-switching guesswork.

The Z3 coupler is designed for low insertion loss and high accuracy across HF and 6m, with a robust build that handles sustained high-power operation without drift. The 7-inch display makes reading power levels effortless from across the shack — no squinting at a needle.

Spec	Detail
Display	7-inch colour screen
Power Ranges	3kW / 5kW
Sensing Unit	Z3 Wattmeter coupler
Measurement	Forward & reflected power, SWR

Wattmeter FX774 + Z3

5" Wattmeter — 2kW / 5kW

For operators who want the same Z3 sensing accuracy in a more compact package, the FX774 delivers a crisp 5-inch display with 2kW and 5kW range options — ideal for a tighter operating desk or a second position in the shack.

Both wattmeters in the Metrowpwr range share the same Z3 coupler, meaning you can move the sensing unit between positions and upgrade your display without replacing your investment in the RF hardware.

Display	5-inch colour screen
Power Ranges	2kW / 5kW
Sensing Unit	Z3 Wattmeter coupler (shared with FX778)
Measurement	Forward & reflected power, SWR

Antenna Switch ZX7

ZX7 — 1×4 Antenna Switch, 2kW

The ZX7 is a solid-state 1-into-4 antenna switch rated to 2kW — built for contesters, DXpeditioners, and anyone who regularly swaps between multiple antennas without wanting to touch a coax connector. Switching is fast, quiet, and safe at full power.

With four output ports, the ZX7 is the natural companion to the SPE interface (see below), enabling full remote antenna selection when operating over the internet. Used locally, it integrates cleanly with logging software and station controllers.

Configuration	1 input × 4 outputs
Power Rating	2kW
Control	Local & remote (via SPE interface)

Rotator Control RT1

RT1 — Rotator Controller for Yaesu (as Microham Arco)

The RT1 is a modern rotator controller for Yaesu rotators, designed and produced to the same specification as the well-regarded Microham Arco. If you've used the Arco, you already know what to expect: reliable, software-compatible control with a clean interface and solid logging software integration.

The RT1 connects directly to your Yaesu rotator and presents a familiar control interface compatible with the most popular shack software. For operators who want to take their beam heading control remote, the RT2 (below) extends this capability over a LAN connection.

Spec	Detail
Compatible Rotators	Yaesu series
Specification	Equivalent to Microham Arco
Software	Compatible with major logging & control software
Remote Extension	Via RT2 interface (LAN/internet)

Remote Operation SPE Interface

SPE Interface — Remote Amplifier & Antenna Switch Control

The SPE interface is the gateway to running your Expert amplifier and antenna switch from anywhere in the world. Connect it at the shack end, and you can control your Expert linear amplifier — band selection, power settings, operating mode — over the internet as if you were sitting in front of it.

Combined with the ZX7 antenna switch, you gain complete RF path control remotely. Point your beam, select your antenna, fire up the amplifier, and work the pile-up — all from a hotel room, a holiday cottage, or the other side of the planet. This is serious remote station capability, not a workaround.

Function	Detail
Amplifier Control	Expert SPE amplifiers, over internet
Antenna Switching	ZX7 1×4 switch, remote selection
Connection	Internet / LAN
Use Case	Full remote station operation

Remote Operation RT2

RT2 — Remote Yaesu Rotator Control via LAN / Internet

The RT2 completes the remote station picture for beam antenna operators. Working alongside the RT1 controller, the RT2 provides a LAN and internet interface so you can point your Yaesu rotator from anywhere — no need for a separate remote desktop session or a third-party relay.

Control is direct and responsive. Head into a new bearing, watch the rotator track in real time, and get on with operating. Whether you're running a remote contest station or simply controlling a home antenna from the back garden with a tablet, the RT2 makes it seamless.

Rotator Compatibility	Yaesu rotors (via RT1)
Connection	LAN / Internet
Control	Real-time remote heading, position feedback
Use Case	Remote beam antenna operation

A Complete System, or Piece by Piece

Every product in the Metrowpwr range works independently — but the real power is in how they combine. The wattmeters give you accurate power monitoring. The ZX7 gives you flexible antenna management. The RT1 and RT2 put your beam under network control. And the SPE interface ties your amplifier and antenna switching into a single remotely-operated station.

It's the kind of system that contest operators, DX chasers, and remote station builders have been building themselves from bits and pieces for years. Metrowpwr does it properly, in a coherent, supported package.
