One other note about LCD, and LED meters for that matter, they tend to be
less accurate than analog meters. Depending on what you are doing, this
may or may not affect your work, but it is something to keep in mind.
Also depending on the gear/vendor it's possible with analog meters to get
Peak meters (PPM) instead of the standard VU meters (RMS where 0 dB = +4
dBm).
