It's reading only 400W when a known good slug reads 1000W, but there seem to be no trimpots or other adjustments inside. -- 73 from Ian; /archives//html/Amps/2002-10/msg00276.html (7,814 bytes)

Good point. In the 1000H there's a fixed 2.102K resistor in series with a 20.3K (where do they get these weird values?). Doesn; /archives//html/Amps/2002-10/msg00289.html (9,163 bytes)
