I use a Nye Viking RF3000, RF power monitor. I'd have to dig out the
book to be sure. I checked it against my Bird and it seemed close
enough. It's got an adjustable peak hold feature. I remember the
Collins 380 I had now there was a transmitter which had a big
overshoot. For a 100 watt output transmitter I was getting peaks
beyond 200 watts. I think there was somthing wrong in the alc, I
dident have it very long.
