There  are many different RF Power wattmeters, but the Bird 43
with a 5 or 10KW  slug connected in-line to the nearby antenna
is the hands-down final say of  True Power in that group.




In my circle of HAMS (not CBer's) we call the "Bird wattmeter watts" THE  
GOSPEL!
 
It is our standard by which we honor the "Golden Brick Award:" of which I  
have held for some years now.  It is the only standard by which the award  can 
be obtained.  We actually have a committee armed with a BIRD wattmeter  and 
BIRD dummy load who do the testing.
 
Nuff said.  Hi Hi 73 Louie W1QJ
