Anyone want to buy my W-4 watt meter??
It is an easy way to increase your output power for a modest price. I
don't know why more of them are sought after.
I used it this past weekend on the multiplier station using an amp which
had never put out over about 1400 watts (as masured (..snicker..snicker) on
my Bird) under any circumstance, but with that W-4 I was getting out 2 kw
on the button.
I know that this is only a DB or so increase, but it gave me a feeling of
RF superiority and made my antennas work better (added bonus.)
Clean piece of gear - $50
